1. Effort points from your answers
Each project type starts with effort points (Website 0, MVP 1, Ecommerce 1, Other 1, Web App 2, Mobile App 2, SaaS 3, Custom Software 3, AI Solution 3). Every selected capability adds one point; capabilities that usually need substantial design, build and testing add one more (AI features, Real-time updates, Offline mode, Vendor onboarding, Integrations, Knowledge retrieval).
2. Context that changes the work
Three or more user groups add one point, five or more add two. Each named integration adds a point, up to three. Regulated contexts (Healthcare and Finance) add two, and migrating from an existing product or vendor adds one. In the scope assessments, supporting iOS and Android adds two and a bespoke design system adds one.
3. Complexity, only when supported
Totals map to four published levels: Simple up to 3, Moderate 4–7, Advanced 8–12, Enterprise-level 13 and above. A level is shown only once a project type and at least one capability are known; otherwise the brief says more detail is needed.
4. Readiness across eight areas
Project type, starting point, business objective, capabilities, users and integrations, launch timeline, investment preference and business context. “Researching” and “Not sure yet” count as areas still to clarify; “Prefer not to say” counts as answered.
5. Considerations and questions
Each capability, integration, industry and starting point maps to documented technical considerations, key decisions, delivery considerations and partner skills. Open questions are generated from missing or uncertain answers.
6. No prices, by design
Scopeivo does not publish generic development prices or calculate cost estimates. Investment depends on your scope, so partners respond to your brief with tailored proposals. Any investment preference you share is optional and confidential.
7. Partner fit
The sample directory compares service, technology, industry and typical engagement size. Engagement size is compared privately with your investment preference. No fit percentages, paid rankings or quality scores are presented.
8. Improving the rules
Before commercial release, the rules should be reviewed against consented, documented project outcomes. Changes will be published here with the date and the reason.
