ⓘ How to use this tool — End-to-End Guide ›
🌟 Effort-Based Estimation
  1. Step 1 — Customer Details
    Fill in client name, company, and quote dates for a professional PDF export.
  2. Step 2 — Add Tasks
    Base Hours = total hours one person needs for that task (not per day/week/month — total). Example: API Integration = 40 hrs.
  3. Step 3 — Complexity
    Low 1× for routine work · Medium 1.5× for integrations/unknowns · High 2× for R&D tasks.
  4. Step 4 — Team Size
    People working this task in parallel. Person-Hours = Effective Hours × Team Size.
  5. Step 5 — Resource Cost tab
    Add roles with hourly rate, headcount, and tenure. Hours/Month = 160 for full-time (8 hrs × 5 days × 4 weeks).
  6. Step 6 — Other Costs & Export
    Add overhead % (cloud, licenses, QA) and profit margin, then export the PDF.
🤖 AI-Assisted Estimation
  1. Step 1 — Brief an AI
    Share requirements with Claude or ChatGPT. Ask: “Break this into development task categories.”
  2. Step 2 — Get Estimates
    Ask: “For each task, estimate hours for a senior engineer and assign Low/Medium/High complexity.”
  3. Step 3 — Import & Validate
    Enter AI-suggested hours here. Adjust for your team's actual expertise and velocity.
  4. Step 4 — Rate Research
    Ask the AI: “Typical hourly rates for [role] in [region]?” Use those in Resource Cost.
  5. Step 5 — AI Rate Card tab
    Use the built-in AI Rate Card for AI model and service pricing to add to Other Costs.
  6. Step 6 — Sanity Check
    Ask AI to review for missing phases: testing, UAT, deployment, training, docs.
Base Hours explained: Always enter the total hours for that task — not hours per day or month. Effective Hours = Base Hours × Complexity. Person-Hours = Effective Hours × Team Size. On the Resource tab, Hours/Month (default 160) is working hours per person per month.
