CFO asks: What is Empatyzer's opportunity cost?

Empatyzer's opportunity cost is the total of tools and services you'd need to buy separately plus hidden human costs and the penalties of poor scale. To replicate its functionality you'd commission professional psychometric reports (market value roughly $250–$350 per person), recurring trainings and workshops, HR consulting hours and one‑on‑one coaching for managers. A single-day professional training for a group can cost 10–30k PLN and coaching or consulting is charged hourly. On top of these direct fees come human costs: HR time for setup and maintenance, managers' time spent in sessions, and work by in-house psychologists and trainers. Those approaches do not scale well—costs grow linearly or in steps with headcount and the quality of support thins out. Empatyzer consolidates diagnosis, micro-habit nudges and just-in-time support in a single SaaS, reducing duplicated purchases and frequent HR interventions. Per-person comparisons often show that one-off reports and trainings can equal or exceed the price of Empatyzer access but without sustained, on-demand effect. Per-company comparisons must factor in implementation costs, ongoing external trainer fees, the size and capacity of HR, and risks from turnover and reduced productivity. Research (for example MIT and Gallup) shows that even modest improvements in communication and engagement translate into measurable savings through lower turnover and higher output. For a CFO the key metrics are cost per person, annual total cost of ownership, estimated savings from reduced turnover, HR hours freed and projected productivity impact (for example up to about 12% after a year of sustained development). The recommendation is to build models "per person" and "per company" using your own numbers: tally alternative costs (reports+training+coaching+people time) versus an Empatyzer subscription and compare TCO and projected ROI based on turnover and productivity changes.

In short: the opportunity cost equals the sum of separate purchases, human costs and lost benefits from poor scalability—compare TCO and expected ROI per person and per company to make a data-driven CFO decision.
