What this helps decide

What drives complexity and cost for my software project?

  • You describe platforms, roles, workflows, integrations, and capability flags.
  • A transparent factor model maps those inputs to a complexity band and drivers.
  • Delivery hints point to Fixed Cost vs Product Engineering when patterns match — not as a contract.

Assumptions and limitations
