How it works

A clearer starting point in about five minutes.

The builder turns early project decisions into a document that is easier to discuss, compare and refine.

1. Select

Describe the shape of the work

Choose the project type, likely users, required capabilities, integrations and delivery considerations.

2. Generate

See the likely complexity

Receive preliminary AUD guidance, delivery timing, complexity drivers and questions that still need answers.

3. Share

Take it into the next conversation

Download a PDF, print it or send the compact share link to a colleague or potential provider.

How guidance is calculated

It looks at the work that changes delivery effort.

The preliminary range reflects the selected project category, number and type of users, capabilities, integrations and considerations such as migration, sensitive information, deadlines and uncertain scope.

The result explains the band through visible complexity drivers. It does not expose artificial per-checkbox prices or present the result as a fixed quotation.

Read the website and app pricing guide for more context on the assumptions behind early pricing.
