Idle-Crew Cost-of-Inaction Estimator

Idle crew wages waiting on missing or double-booked equipment are a real cost that almost never shows up as its own line item. This estimator turns it into one. You enter a loaded burden rate per crew type, how often conflict events happen per month, and the average idle hours per event; it annualizes the idle-crew cost across low, expected, and high scenarios and feeds the ES-14 business case. Every figure is your own assumption — the workbook ships no benchmark, industry rate, or conflict frequency of its own.
