doing an audit of the DoD still cost over $400M

The DoD budget is ~$700B, so that's <0.1%

Yeah, we recently had a tech audit of our company, it took a good half of a week in terms of man-hours for each of our leading tech staff.

In the context of this .1% doesn’t sound so bad.

How much does cleaning the bathrooms cost?

It is nice to know the cost, but it shouldn’t be an argument not to perform a critical task for the function of the organization.
