Build vs. Buy: In-House Modeling vs. Chainscore Assessor
A detailed comparison of the resources, risks, and timelines required to develop a storage protocol impact model internally versus leveraging our production-ready service.
| Evaluation Factor | Build In-House Team | Chainscore Assessor |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production-Ready Model | 6 to 9 months | 2 to 4 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $250K - $500K+ | Starting at $15K |
Required Expertise | Protocol Researchers, Data Engineers, Solidity Devs | Your existing engineering team |
Security & Audit Overhead | High (Custom code risk, audit required) | Included (Pre-audited, battle-tested models) |
Coverage: Supported Protocols | Limited to team's research capacity | Filecoin, Arweave, Storj, Sia, 10+ others |
Model Accuracy & Calibration | Unproven, requires live testing | Validated against $2B+ in on-chain storage deals |
Ongoing Maintenance & Updates | Dedicated team (1-2 FTE) | Fully managed service with SLA |
Integration Complexity | High (Build API, data pipelines, dashboards) | Low (REST API, webhook alerts, Grafana dashboards) |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $400K - $750K+ | $50K - $150K |
Business Risk | High (Delays, model failure, security flaws) | Low (Predictable outcomes, SLAs, proven track record) |

STRUCTURED, DATA-DRIVEN ASSESSMENT
Our Methodology: From Proposal to Actionable Report
Our four-phase methodology transforms complex protocol upgrade proposals into clear, prioritized action plans. We deliver technical due diligence, not just a summary.
01
1. Proposal Deconstruction & Impact Mapping
We parse the upgrade proposal (EIP, BIP, etc.) and map its technical changes to your specific application architecture. This identifies which smart contracts, off-chain services, and user flows are directly impacted.

2. Security & Risk Analysis
Our security engineers analyze the upgrade for new attack vectors, consensus changes, and smart contract incompatibilities. We reference historical vulnerabilities from similar upgrades (e.g., The Merge, EIP-1559).

3. Performance & Cost Simulation
We model the upgrade's effect on your application's gas costs, transaction throughput, and finality times using a forked testnet environment. This quantifies the operational and financial impact before mainnet deployment.
