# Remediation Cost Analysis

> Know exactly what it costs in time and money to fix each security finding.

## What it shows

For each security gap, OpsBeacon estimates:

* **Remediation cost** — engineering time × loaded hourly rate
* **Effort level** — Low (\< 1 hour), Medium (1–4 hours), High (> 4 hours)
* **Monthly savings** — the exposure cost that goes away once the finding is resolved
* **Payback period** — how quickly the remediation pays for itself

## How to use it

```
@Beacon what does it cost to fix my top 3 security findings?
@Beacon show me all low-effort security fixes
@Beacon what's the ROI of fixing finding-01?
```

## Prioritization formula

Beacon sorts findings by: **monthly exposure ÷ remediation cost**. The higher the ratio, the better the return on fixing it first.

A $300/month exposure that costs $50 to fix is a 6x return in month one. A $50/month exposure that costs $500 to fix takes 10 months to break even.
