Models software architecture costs through TCO calculations, build-vs-buy analysis, and long-term ROI projections.
The Cost Modeling skill transforms Claude into a financial architect capable of performing deep economic analysis on software infrastructure. It provides structured frameworks for estimating three-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), comparing vendor pricing models, and conducting build-vs-buy evaluations. By incorporating critical factors like data egress surprises, opportunity costs, and maintenance overhead, the skill helps engineering teams make data-driven decisions that align technical strategy with business profitability and scaling sustainability.
