The Business Case
What this velocity means for OBX's customers
Cost to Build Equivalent Platform
Estimated cost based on $180K/yr avg. senior engineer salary
Time to Market Comparison
Days to ship a 186K LoC production platform
8–10x
Faster Time to Market
What typically takes 12–18 months with a traditional team was shipped
in 47 days. OBX customers get features at the speed of thought, not
the speed of hiring.
$850K+
Saved in Engineering Costs
Building this with a 5-person team over 12 months would cost ~$900K
in salaries alone. OBX did it with 1 primary engineer + AI agents
in 47 days.

AI-Augmented Development
Every commit is AI co-authored. OBX doesn't just use AI —
it's the proving ground. The product builds itself, validating the
“self-driving codebase” thesis in real time.
