Deterministic calculation pipeline
Every estimate is built in the same steps, in the same order.
Every JungleOS feature, from first question to signed-off SoW
JungleOS sizes professional services work from your scoping questions, prices it from your rate cards, and turns the estimate into a statement of work. The core engine is deterministic, with no AI in the calculation, so the same answers produce the same estimate every time.
Estimating engine
Math trace
See the formula, factor and input behind every hour.
Go-live compression and stretch
Plans compress toward a date, never below testing floors, and name the binding phase.
Development object sizing
Reports, interfaces and conversions are sized from a complexity matrix.
Development object inventory
Capture the real object list for the deal, with custom fields per type.
Testing engine
Testing phases, prep, cycles and minimums grow with the scope.
Testing-cycle capacity check
Warns when a role cannot fit its testing work inside one cycle.
Phase-duration questions
An answer can add calendar weeks and the matching hours.
Offshore split by role pair
One offshore % moves hours phase by phase to the paired offshore role.
PM overhead
Per-role rows or one percentage, the way your firm staffs it.
Phase placement
Sequential, parallel or from-go-live phases on business-day calendars.
Capacity ceiling
Roles over max hours a week are modelled as extra people and flagged.
Billing floor
Part-time roles are billed at your weekly minimum without inventing idle weeks.
Clean weekly hours
Weekly hours snap to whole, half or quarter-hour increments.
Weekly staffing grid
A week-by-week resource plan per role.
Results overrides
Adjust hours, price a role as another role, override cost, or mark a contractor.
Multi-phase estimates
Price a phased program with each phase computed on its own.
Gantt timeline export
Export the timeline as SVG for a deck or SoW.
Missing-rate warnings
Flags hours dropped because a role had no rate.
Update on demand
Results recompute when you choose; edits are queued so none are lost.
Questionnaire and sizing
Question types
Dropdown, number, yes/no, checkbox, informational, passthrough and phase duration.
Conditional questions
Only relevant questions appear; hidden ones add no hours.
Answer references
One answer, like number of countries, fills or scales effort elsewhere.

Fork and set active
Branch an option in one click and mark the one you are proposing.
Named, frozen versions
Save "v3, sent to client" exactly as it was.
Frozen configuration
Rate or question changes never silently move a live deal; you choose when to adopt them.

Generate a SoW
Deal, scenario and layout become a statement of work.

Include-when rules
Clauses appear only when relevant, with warnings for rules that can never match.
Merge tags and dynamic fields
Numbers and names in the SoW match the estimate.

FAQ
Is the estimate calculated by AI?
No. The core engine is deterministic, so the same answers produce the same estimate every time, and the math trace shows how every hour was calculated.
Can I compare pricing options for one deal?
Yes. A deal can hold several scenarios, and you can save named, frozen versions of each.
Does JungleOS write the statement of work?
JungleOS generates the SoW from the estimate using your clause library and logic blocks, and exports it to Word.
Does JungleOS handle more than one currency?
Yes. It uses resource, primary and selling currencies with dated buy, sell and internal rates.
Does JungleOS sell my data?
No. We do not sell your data.
