A lot of folks are asking about the math breakdown. So here it is:

- 3 employees discussing design at $110/k/y or $43/h napkin - 1 founder discussing design at $90/k/y or $36/h napkin - 1 meeting — $165

3 days of work to follow: - 1 designer making edits — $903 - 2 working on projects related to said design — $1806

Total: $2874

- ~2 hour meeting to discuss, examine, make notes, etc. — $335

Total: $3,209.00

- Opportunity cost of founders 3 hours — $1,100 napkin (based on potential hourly value not pay)

Total: $4,309.00

Please note this is generally napkin math based on my own experiences & numbers. It is generally impossible to get an exact number but you can get very close.

>2 working on projects related to said design

Why is this included? If two people are working on the back end for a widget, and the designer spends 3 days changing the colors of buttons and types of sliders on a widget, why does this mean that the two people working on the backend aren't making their usual progress in the meantime? Maybe they lose a few hours of time to integrating the design changes, but a few days?
