Navigator · Capacity estimator
Estimate effort as a range, and calibrate it on your own history.
Enter deliverable counts by complexity. Get P10 to P90 effort and weeks instead of one number, with independent QC and review included, plus assumptions and exclusions ready for a proposal or change order.
Parameters
1 · Calibrate (recommended)
Currently using illustrative defaults. They are not derived from any dataset.
Upload a CSV of completed work with columns category (sdtm, adam, table_listing, figure), tier (simple, moderate, complex), actual_hours, and optionally estimated_hours. Each cell needs at least 5 rows to be calibrated; others keep defaults. The file is read in your browser and never uploaded. Use counts and hours only; no study identifiers. Download the template.

Amber cells were edited by hand; green cells came from your actuals.
Method: triangular effort ranges per unit with a shared-difficulty correlation, seeded Monte Carlo, independent QC and review as fractions of production. Expert-derived and not independently validated; see the validation protocol. Parameters saved here are used by the Scenario Simulator.
