CostComparisonWidget - Meander Platform - Likepersonsapp

Description

A static sales website widget that presents a side-by-side financial comparison between Meander platform costs and the implicit costs of manual workflows such as Word forms, Excel aggregation, and phone-based coordinator reporting. It accepts an optional organization size tier input to display pre-computed cost tiers relevant to the visitor's context. The widget is designed to communicate cost-benefit value to budget-holders and decision-makers without requiring sales team involvement.

Feature: Cost Comparison

Sources & reasoning

Line 500 lists Cost Comparison as one of two features in the Benefit Calculator area. The Sales Website is scoped as static/no-auth (line 216-220) with core capabilities including the benefit calculator block. Blueprint marks [MVP]. No phase deferral evidence exists; the entire Sales Website ships as a single MVP deliverable, so both calculator features land together.
