Or pay 2 capable engs in India for 11 years. £670k is a lot in some parts of the world

The typical formula is that it costs double a person's salary for the total budget. So really you're saying 5.5 years and 2 people is a low number so maybe you build a team of 4 and then the runway is an excruciatingly short 2.75 years.
