What is your Friction Tax?
Estimate the value at risk when structural friction suppresses performance through shifting priorities, slow or revisited decisions, unclear ownership, excessive coordination, and reactive or duplicated work.
First, a few quick details:

Your estimated Friction Tax
A directional view of the annual value at risk from structural friction.
How this estimate is calculated
The result estimates annual value at risk from structural friction, not a forensic accounting measure. The weightings are conservative defaults for coordination load, decision drag, information search, rework, unclear ownership and fragmented work.
Find out what structural friction is costing your organisation.
Most leadership teams have a sense that something in the system is getting in the way. This calculator puts a number on it - a senior person-weeks estimate of the productive capacity your organisation is losing to avoidable structural drag every quarter.
Two minutes. Five questions. One output: specific enough to take to a board, significant enough to act on.
What happens next
Your Friction Tax estimate is delivered immediately to the email address you provided. It includes your senior person-weeks number and a short explanation of what it represents for an organisation of your size and type.
The number is a starting point, not a conclusion. If it prompts the question - where exactly is the friction, and what would it take to redesign it - the Friction Architecture Diagnostic is the structured next step.
Want the full picture?
The calculator gives you the number. The Friction Architecture Diagnostic gives you the map - a structured, board-shareable picture of exactly where structural drag is concentrated and which redesign moves would release the most performance.

Understand the full commercial argument first - what suppressed capability costs, where structural friction lives, and why standard interventions keep producing the same results.
