I was brought into as consultant at small client/server startup that
wanted to do payment transactions on their server. They also had
invented this technology they called "SSL" they wanted to use ... that
is now frequently called "electronic commerce". I had also made several
security recommendations, many of which were almost immediately
violated, continuing to account for some number of exploits.

I would include in talks that it takes 4-10 the effort to take a well
designed, implemented and tested application and turn it into a
"service" (contingency for failures, exploits, attacks, availability,
etc). some past posts mentioning 4-10 time effort:
