Every contact form asks a version of this. Pick the category here, see the full component-by-component breakdown, the hours estimate, and the MGT project that already shipped at that shape. Critical-path toggle tells you the MVP hours vs the full build.

// HOW TO USE THIS

From "can you build X" to signed estimate.

Find the category that matches your vision. The summary lines are short because the real detail is the component list. Toggle critical-path only to see what the MVP looks like - usually 40-60 percent of full-build hours.

Click the MGT analog link to see the actual shipped project. That is the real proof this blueprint works in production. Then click "Scope this build" to carry the blueprint slug into the /estimate wizard and fine-tune scope.

Hours estimates are calibrated against 25 shipped projects. On real work, feature scope drives 70 percent of variance - the blueprint gives the shape, the estimate wizard prices your exact version.
