Two-stage evaluatorVertical Program Integration Studio

Scenario setup

Enter each vertical program and its shared capacity and funding limits, then, for every component category, what each program spends and draws today. Flag components that can never merge as non-negotiable so the optimizer never proposes them.

Vertical programs

Capacity & funding limits

Hard limits — bundles that breach them are excluded

Status quo $1,765k (100%) · leanest $1,521k

Funding defaults to the current total program cost. Lower it to model a budget cut — the status quo then breaks the ceiling and only integration options that fit the reduced envelope survive.

Non-negotiable: this component can never merge regardless of cost logic. Each program keeps its own instance.
