Each feature has a low and a high hour estimate for development, multiplied by the platform and design level, plus a contingency.","Design, QA and project management are added as shares of development hours, and each role's hours are multiplied by its hourly rate.","Weeks come from total hours divided by team size and productive hours per person per week.","The hour ranges are OceanLab planning assumptions, not market benchmarks. Edit any of them in the assumptions panel."],"sources":[],"faq":[{"question":"Is the video service included?","answer":"The build hours cover integrating a video SDK. The SDK's own usage fees are a running cost; add them in the software maintenance cost calculator."},{"question":"Where do the feature hours come from?","answer":"They are OceanLab planning assumptions for a typical version of each feature, not survey data. Each one is shown and editable, so you can replace it with a number from your own team or quote."},{"question":"Which hourly rates does it use?","answer":"Default rates are OceanLab's own: $50 an hour for engineering, $45 for design, $40 for project management and $30 for QA.
