Measures


Throughput: TE is the rate of cash generated through delivery of working code into production. It is computed as sales price minus direct costs, such as packaging, delivery, installation, training, support, and networking.
Investment: I is all money invested in software production systems plus money spent to obtain ideas for client-valued functionality. It thus includes software development tools and requirements gathering.
Operating Expense: OE is all money spent to produce working code from ideas. It is primarily direct labor of software engineers, but it also includes selling, general, and administrative costs. So, our fixed overheads.
