However, the client overestimated staffing costs due to limited knowledge of market salary benchmarks. This miscalculation created unnecessary budget pressure, jeopardizing both timelines and investor confidence.
The Challenge
- Client planned hiring based on inflated market rate assumptions.
- Recruitment delays risked missing product launch deadlines.
