FEATURE SCOPING
Scope features without an engineering sync.
Get complexity estimates in seconds.
"How hard would it be to add Apple Pay?" Stop guessing. Ask the codebase and get a real answer with file paths and complexity estimates.
- "What existing code can we reuse for this feature?"
- "How many files would need to change?"
- "Are there any dependencies or blockers?"
