Audit expenditure modeling in the terminal

Run your financial projections via CLI. Use `calculate_audit_costs` to pipe estimated audit expenses directly into your shell scripts or CI/CD pipelines. This approach allows you to automate compliance tracking as part of your standard development workflow. It provides the data you need without requiring a graphical interface.

Automate ITGC cost analysis

Quantify your security overhead directly from your terminal session. Invoking `calculate_itgc_costs` provides immediate insight into the financial weight of your technical controls. You can use this output in automated reports or cron jobs to monitor budget drift. It keeps your compliance metrics visible in the environment where you already work.

Drafting and maintenance cost tracking

Calculate the resources needed for ongoing documentation. Use `calculate_documentation_costs` to get precise figures on your drafting and maintenance overhead. This MCP helps you track these costs against your `get_compliance_summary` to maintain a clear picture of your SOX position. It is designed for engineers who prefer to handle compliance through code.
