But there is no proof it takes 8x as long or costs 100000s or more because of that; if you can prove that then many companies will say, yup, that’s a shoe in, let’s rewrite! I have been in a lot of rewrites and more often than not, it did make the tech folks happy, but it did nothing, immediately or middle/long term, to the bottom line or the productivity. Worse; the productivity plummets at first because a lot of new things have to be learned.

There is no proof that cargo cult agile improves efficiency or reduces costs but many companies do it regardless. Your managers should be former or current software engineers who can evaluate the technical merits of a rewrite.
