Integrations Inventory and Attributes

Financial attributes for the Integrations Inventory

Financial attributes capture the cost profile of each Integration — what it costs to build, license, and maintain annually.

Attribute Name	Maturity	Description and Notes
Annual Integration Cost	Walk	Description — The total annual cost to build, license, and maintain this integration, including middleware platform licensing allocation, engineering maintenance time, and monitoring tooling. Benefit(s) — Enables cost-per-integration analysis. High-cost integrations that carry low-criticality payloads are rationalization candidates. The aggregate of Annual Integration Cost across all integrations reveals the enterprise’s total integration investment. Source — Manual. Notes — An estimated allocation is more useful than no value. At Walk maturity, a rough order of magnitude (e.g., $50K–$100K/year) is sufficient for portfolio-level analysis.
