Cline executes your audit budget analysis

Cline handles the heavy lifting of financial forecasting by calling `calculate_audit_costs` on your behalf. It generates estimates that help you allocate funds for internal and external audit teams. You can ask Cline to write these figures directly into your project tracking files. It performs the task from start to finish, ensuring your documentation stays in sync with your budget.

Model ITGC impact with Cline

Don't let compliance controls stall your shipping speed. Use `calculate_itgc_costs` to see exactly what maintaining your current security infrastructure will cost in both time and money. Cline analyzes the results to show how these costs fluctuate as your team grows. You get a clear view of the financial burden imposed by your IT controls.

Generate full compliance summaries

Get a bird's-eye view of your entire SOX project. Cline uses `get_compliance_summary` to aggregate costs from across your infrastructure and documentation efforts. This provides a total cost breakdown that you can include in your next audit readiness report. It removes the manual effort of consolidating disparate compliance figures.
