This MCP server provides a decision-support engine to quantify the economic and psychological burden of vendor displacement. By analyzing contractual obligations, implementation investments, and technical friction, it calculates a standardized switching barrier score. Use calculate_total_switching_cost to find the monetary value of the transition, evaluate_switching_barrier to normalize the difficulty, and generate_mitigation_plan to identify actionable tactics like contract buyouts or automated migrations. It is designed to help sales and strategy teams evaluate the feasibility of competitive displacement.

Calculate the switching cost for a prospect with a $500,000 contract, 12 months remaining, $50,000 training cost, 5 integration complexity, and $20,000 data lock-in.

The total switching cost is $320,000, consisting of $250,000 in contractual costs, $50,000 for training, and $20,000 for technical migration.

A prospect has a switching cost of $1,000,000 and an annual revenue of $10,000,000. What is the barrier score and difficulty level?

The barrier score is 10, which indicates a Low difficulty level for this transition.

The switching cost is $200,000 with a high contractual weight. Suggest a mitigation plan.

To mitigate the high contractual barrier, you should offer Contract Buyout Credits to offset the remaining term obligations.

The `calculate_total_switching_cost` tool aggregates contractual penalties, training investments, and technical friction (integration complexity and data lock-in) to provide a complete monetary figure.
