Count the internal hours, loaded team cost, external production spend, and recurring software you already carry. The result is your current operating model — not a benchmark and not a sales estimate.
Fill in your actual workflow costs, then calculate. Zero is a valid input when your team does not carry that cost.
Guest research, prep, scheduling, recording support, review, publishing, promotion, and stakeholder coordination.
Agency retainers, freelance editors, studio fees, artwork, audio engineering, or per-episode production charges.
Recording, hosting, transcription, clipping, review, project management, and other recurring tools.
The hours your team spends operating the show are capacity even when they never appear on a vendor invoice.
Once you know the current cost, map three real conversations and see whether the editorial value is worth operating the workflow at all.
