Scope units show comparative scope pressure; they are not a market price or universal timeline. Time is derived only from user-supplied historical delivery capacity.

Executive brief

Each scope driver is shown as a separate contribution.
No capacity evidence was supplied, so the tool does not invent a timeline.

Method, assumptions and boundaries

ASSUMPTIONS
  • • Scope-unit weights are an internal AC methodology and are versioned.
LIMITATIONS
  • • Actual time depends on team experience, legacy systems, quality bar, testing and decision latency.

Architecture decisions are trade-offs across operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization and sustainability; context determines priorities.

This report is decision support. Observations, derivations, user inputs and heuristics are deliberately separated.

AC-METHODEVIDENCE → DECISION

The report is not sales decoration; it is a technical decision record.

Each report separates observations, user input, derived conclusions and heuristic assumptions. If evidence is weak, confidence drops.

WHEN TO USE IT
  • Test whether a product is still an MVP before scope expands
  • Compare feature load for a first SaaS, web or mobile release
  • Identify the first features that can move outside V1
METHOD / INTERPRETATION

How is MVP complexity calculated?

Product type sets the baseline; platforms, auth, payments, admin, AI, realtime data, files, localization and integrations add delivery pressure. The result is a scope-and-effort model rather than a commercial quote.

Why is the cut list the important output?

The usual MVP problem is not technology but the number of assumptions being validated at once. The tool therefore produces more than a score: it proposes three concrete cuts for high-cost or premature scope.

BOUNDARY

The delivery band is not a fixed project schedule without knowing team experience, design maturity, existing code and integration quality.

If this output needs to become a real technical decision, move it into the FORGE flow.
