Trade economics: $12,715/yr saved (Vercel hobby tiers consolidated, dev-time on context-switching), 6-week payback. Worth doing.
Priced current 4-repo overhead (Vercel project minimums, Doppler config duplication, dev-time switching cost). Compared to consolidated state with one root + apps.
Cost savings dominated by dev-time, not infra cost. The structural simplification is the real ROI.

Recommend re-pricing in 4 weeks against actual dev-time saved post-consolidation.
Will include payback-period explicitly, not just annual savings.
