How the estimate works

  • Every choice carries engineer-days in a standard planning model: a product foundation, then features, integrations and AI capabilities.
  • Extra platforms add a share of the build (a second mobile OS is cheap with one shared codebase); the design level changes design time and UI build effort.
  • Discovery, design and QA & launch are added as phases; your timeline sets team size, which turns days into calendar weeks.
  • The range runs from 15% under to 25% over the central estimate — software overruns more often than it underruns.
