Not accounted for
Nothing in this comparison depends on your industry, any residency requirement, the systems you already run, your budget, the jurisdiction you operate in, your headcount, how sensitive the material is, a hosting preference or the technical capability you have in-house — none of it was supplied. Where a figure would move for one of those, it is stated as an assumption rather than hidden inside the number.
