| description | Compute hybrid software bid estimates with best/base/worst person-month ranges and fixed-price/T&M cost ranges using WBS complexity multipliers and capped risk buffers. |
Bid Estimator
Estimate effort and cost ranges using deterministic formulas.
Formula Contract
- Complexity multiplier:
low=0.85, medium=1.0, high=1.25
- Risk buffer from unknowns (integration, data migration, NFR), capped at
30%
- Effort range:
best=0.85*base, worst=1.30*base
- Fixed-price:
base_pm * blended_monthly_rate * 1.15
- T&M:
sum(role_pm * role_monthly_rate)
