Impact: CRs Eliminated Per Expansion

Baseline: From git history, these 14 packages averaged 2.5 CRs per expansion event. AWS launches ~22 new regions/zones per year.

Methodology: Scanned git history of 14 ripified packages for expansion-related commits (zone onboarding, region flips). Divided by 44 expansion events over ~2 years to get per-event baseline. Cost assumes 3h/CR × $150/hr fully loaded.

RSE onboarding is the prerequisite for many teams. Without RSE custom properties, packages can't dynamically discover per-region account IDs, endpoints, or zone metadata. QBuild creates these RSE packages so teams can self-serve future expansions.

Compounding Savings

AWS expansion is accelerating. Each new zone/region = 0 additional CRs for ripified packages.

As more packages are ripified, these numbers grow. The 49 packages currently in scope represent a fraction of the ~330 packages on the ripification backlog.
