Agency vs. Internal Hire — How the Math Really Works
| Cost Factor | Internal Hire (Year 1) | O8 Fractional Team |
|---|---|---|
| Base Salary | $80–100k | Included |
| Benefits (25%) | $20–25k | Included |
| Recruiting Fees | $8–15k | $0 |
| Ramp Time (6 mo.) | 6 months to full productivity | Day 1 |
| Total Year 1 Cost | $115–145k+ | Fraction of that |
With O8 you also get 6+ specialists instead of one generalist, full AI toolset included, and the flexibility to scale up or down month-to-month.
