What Carrying ItActually Costs.

A compliance gap has a price whether or not anyone has invoiced you for it yet. Move the inputs to see how the exposure and the cost of resolving it compare on your own numbers.

What Sits Behind The Numbers.

A calculator that will not show its working is a sales device. This one shows its working.

Contribution shortfall

Only the interstate and international share of revenue is assessable, and only the portion actually in question is exposed — which is why that share is an input rather than an assumption. It compounds because each year is assessed against the year before it.

  • Assessable share of revenue
  • Portion in question
  • Contribution factor
  • Period carried

Enforcement exposure

Scales with the number of open obligations, and steps up once a gap has been carried beyond roughly eighteen months, when it stops looking like an oversight.

  • Open obligations
  • Duration
  • Escalation threshold
  • Response cost

Commercial loss

The part providers underestimate. Revenue at risk over a disruption window — not a whole year — weighted by how many upstream carriers can act on the same information at once.

  • Disruption window
  • Carrier concentration
  • Refusal already started
  • Margin compression

Cost of recovery

Scoped work, not a share of your revenue: assessment, building the position, remediation, and defending it. It does not scale with how much money you make.

  • Assessment
  • Position development
  • Remediation
  • Defence
What this is not

A model, not a quotation.

The figures are an illustrative model built for this page. They are not a fee estimate, not a prediction of any regulator’s conduct, and not a legal opinion. Real exposure depends on your filing history, what your records actually show, and which obligations apply to the way you operate — which is what a Confidential Compliance Risk Assessment™ establishes. EquiTel is an advisory firm, not a law firm.

Sister company — STIRSHAKEN.AI

Who actually files it.

EquiTel does the recovery this calculator prices. The filings that close the gaps are executed by STIRSHAKEN.AI, our sister company — AI-powered, backed by humans — and STIR SHIELD is what keeps the exposure from rebuilding.

  • FCC registration and FRN
  • Form 499-A and 499-Q worksheets
  • Robocall Mitigation Database certification
  • CPNI annual certification
  • Section 214 applications and transfers
  • State PUC registrations
  • STIR/SHAKEN certification & onboarding — STI-PA registration, SPC token, certificates
  • STIR SHIELD — continuous compliance monitoring
Certify. File. Monitor.

STIRSHAKEN.AI takes providers through STIR/SHAKEN certification end to end — eligibility, SPC token, certificates, and the records that keep them renewing — and executes every regulatory filing.

STIR SHIELD — continuous monitoring

Once you are in good standing, STIR SHIELD watches the obligation set and files what is required. Optional, and contracted directly with STIRSHAKEN.AI.

Explore STIR SHIELD

EquiTel sets the position where judgement is required. STIRSHAKEN.AI certifies, files, and monitors. Engaging either does not commit you to the other.

Put Real NumbersAgainst It.

A confidential assessment replaces this model with your filing history, your records, and the obligations that actually apply to you.
