## Description

You shouldn't have to guess how much a departing researcher actually costs your company. This MCP turns your AI agent into a financial analyst for your technical workforce. Instead of vague estimates, you get specific models that account for salary, market premiums, and IP risk. You can use it to build a business case for a new retention package or to see if a specific salary bump is actually worth the investment compared to the cost of a vacancy. It handles the heavy lifting of comparing the cost of keeping talent against the economic loss of losing them, giving you a clear efficiency metric for every decision you make. Whether you are looking at a single ML engineer or an entire segment of researchers, this tool provides the data to justify your talent strategy.
