Your team absorbed the extra work. That decision has a price, and nobody ever writes it down. Five inputs and you get two numbers side by side: the cost of stretching the team for another year, and the all-in first-year cost of adding one person, ramp included.
The people who actually produce the work customers pay for. Not the whole company.
Fully loaded means salary plus payroll tax, benefits, tools and space. A rough figure is fine.
Add it up across everyone. Four people staying two hours late is 8. If nobody is working extra, put 0.
This decides whether the stretch is a busy patch or the new normal.
From day one to carrying a full load without hand-holding.
