## What Jamie wrote

This is a great read and the Cessan is spot on that most (none I've ever seen) software teams think about the financials this way. Some get close, particularly with engineering teams that make other teams more productive there is a leverage view you have to apply to know if it makes sense. But this is all getting turned upside down with automatic programming and agentic delivery. We are needing to go back to the basics, and this math may be the best place to start.
