Tool
What leaves your roadmap
Your three quarter roadmap, at the capacity you actually have. The cards are editable: write your real features in. Then move how much room the in-house agent takes and watch what falls out of the year.

That is the price of the in-house agent. It is written in the names your team uses. Anybody can argue with the arithmetic in money. This list is harder.
The model, in the open
The seats the agent takes include the work that never ends: maintaining, adjusting and reviewing what it answers. The twelve features are an editable example rather than a measurement, and the board fills the quarters in order with the agent first, which is exactly what happens when it enters the plan.
How to read it
- Write your real features in before moving anything. The tool is worth the names it expels, and a real name is harder to argue with than a number.
- The agent goes into the board first, not last. That is not a quirk of the simulation: it is what happens when something is approved as a project and stays as a system.
- Drop the capacity to two features a quarter, which is a genuinely small team, and look at how much of the year is left outside.
