Evaluating Your Path to Blockchain Infrastructure
Procurement Approach: Ad-House vs. Structured
Choosing the right procurement model is critical for project success. This table compares the risks, costs, and outcomes of an ad-hoc, in-house approach versus a structured, expert-led engagement with Chainscore Labs.
| Key Factor | Ad-Hoc / In-House Build | Structured with Chainscore |
|---|---|---|
Time to Production Launch | 6-12+ months | 4-8 weeks |
Initial Development Cost | $200K - $500K+ | $50K - $150K |
Security & Audit Overhead | High (unaudited, custom code) | Low (pre-audited patterns, formal audits) |
Team Expertise Required | Senior Solidity, DevOps, Security | Managed by our expert team |
Ongoing Maintenance Burden | Full internal team required | Optional SLA with 99.9% uptime |
Protocol Upgrade Management | Manual, high-risk | Automated, version-controlled |
Vendor Lock-in Risk | None (but you own all complexity) | Minimal (modular, open-source components) |
Total Cost of Ownership (Year 1) | $300K - $750K+ | $75K - $200K |
Typical Outcome | Delayed launch, security incidents, high burn | On-time delivery, secure foundation, focused roadmap |
