Overview
An Independent Estimation is a service in which our team will
calculate the costs and effort for developing your product. We are not interested in
time utilization and therefore we will look for the best development path.
Companies usually use an Independent Estimate to determine if their development
efforts are on track or if they need to change something in order
to stay on track.
They can also use it to get an idea of how much money they'll need
in order to
develop their product.
briefly highlight the major
This service gives you the opportunity to receive an Independent
Estimate of the
development of your product. We have no goal to over- or
under-estimate the
development, so as a result of this service, you will have a starting point for
finding a vendor.
How It Works
In order to make our estimate independent and realistic, we put a
lot of
resources into the work to think through the details and
objectives of your
system. We use only professionals who have already dealt
with similar tasks
to fill estimate with details that can impact the whole effort.
We constantly work with assumptions and take into account
risks, and
therefore we evaluate each task in two dimensions at once:
optimistic and
pessimistic. this approach allows you to calculate and
demonstrate the range
of hours that you should focus on.
In order to make our estimates even more accurate, we have developed a
Business Variables Scoring System (BVSS). This system
allows you to
determine and evaluate the impact of business variables on the delivery
process and gives you a better understanding of which parameters
affect the
result the most.
Taking into account the nuances of your particular product, such as
changing
requirements or the uncertain
depth of features, we can make our estimates even more
realistic.
We have already successfully tested this approach on more than +100 estimates and it showed an accuracy of 80-85%.

Our task is to give you a realistic estimate and therefore, as part of this
service, we try to reduce the error and increase
the accuracy. Therefore, we
always use the "Double Check" principle to validate the
received values.
We involve several specialists with different
experience to get their
opinion on the complexity of the tasks and determine the range of hours in
which the goals can be achieved.
Use Cases
Get a starting point
When you have an understanding of labor costs, it will be easier for you to
compare offers from vendors. In this case, you can always refer to the original
assessment and understand what the vendor has included and what needs to be
added in addition.
Get the best offer on the market
We always take into account a lot of details when creating an assessment of your
product, so it will be easier for you to argue where you can save and where you
have to invest.
Check the optimality of estimates
If you have a big project coming up, it's a good idea to make sure your team's
estimates are realistic. We will conduct a detailed analysis of your
requirements and provide our independent estimate.
