Software estimate
A structured prediction of a project's scope, cost, and timeline - ideally a delivery plan in draft.
A software estimate is a structured prediction of what a project will take - scope, cost range, and timeline - based on requirements, integrations, and risk. A good estimate is the first draft of the delivery plan, not just a price.
StackLift turns intake into an AI-generated scope, then has a senior architect review it before any number is committed - so the estimate is defensible and becomes the plan the team executes.
