In development
This tool isn't live yet.
The methodology behind it is already shipped in the related Claude Code skill below. You can run it locally today.
What it does
A short interactive form that produces a single, uncomfortable number: what your founder content actually costs per month, measured in opportunity cost.
Inputs:
- Your effective hourly rate (or pick from a preset by founder type)
- Hours per week spent on content (writing, recording, reviewing, posting)
- Hours per week on tool overhead (prompt iteration, edits, scheduling)
Output:
- Monthly content tax in dollars
- Annual content tax
- What that equals in alternative use (engineering hours, sales calls, time off)
- A side-by-side of "DIY content" vs "managed infrastructure" at WhyStrohm's pricing
Why it's not live yet
Holding the launch for Week 3 alongside the /blog/founder-content-bottleneck pillar so the calculator and the pillar can reference each other from launch day.
