Learning-Video Project — Scoping & Estimation Worksheet

A one-page worksheet that turns an idea into a defensible number: the in/out scope list, the feature-to-effort building blocks, the four multipliers (live, interactivity, integration count, non-feature work), a three-point/PERT calculator, and a pre-commit sanity check (reference class, run cost, contingency). Companion to the Fora Soft Learn estimation guide.
