Frequently asked questions
What does the API Requirements Brief Builder calculate?
It turns the entered operational evidence into a transparent estimate or recommendation. The result changes when the material inputs change and shows the assumptions used.
Is this result a guarantee or technical approval?
No. It is an early planning signal, not a security review, architecture approval, vendor commitment, or production-readiness certification.
What data should I enter?
Use current measurements where available and label estimates clearly. Revisit the result when traffic, scope, provider limits, costs, or ownership changes.
Can I use this result in a planning workshop?
Yes. Use the details and next steps to expose assumptions, then have the responsible product and engineering owners validate them.
