Free MVP scoping tool

ComplexityMap

Score each part of your MVP by UX complexity so design effort gets allocated where it is actually needed, not spread evenly across every screen.

How it works

1

Score each area on three complexity drivers

Every area is scored by how many roles interact with it, how much conditional logic it contains, and how much data volume it handles — the three factors that most reliably predict UX design difficulty.

2

Combine into a single complexity score

The three factors are combined into one comparable complexity score per area, so areas can be ranked against each other consistently.

3

Rank areas by design-effort priority

The highest-complexity areas are surfaced first, since they deserve the most experienced designer attention and the most iteration time.

Frequently asked questions

Why does role count increase complexity?

Each additional role interacting with an area often means additional permission states, visibility rules, and edge cases to design for.

What counts as "high" conditional logic?

Many branching paths, if/then behavior, or state-dependent UI — a simple linear form is low; a permission-gated multi-step wizard is high.

Should low-complexity areas get no design attention?

No — they still need proper design, just proportionally less iteration and review time than the high-complexity areas at the top of this map.

How is this different from ScreenRank?

ScreenRank prioritizes screens by business importance and validation value; ComplexityMap specifically measures UX design difficulty, which is a different (sometimes conflicting) signal.

MVPHub gives a fast, consistent complexity ranking from three transparent factors. A senior designer's gut-feel assessment can catch nuances this formula misses but is not always available or consistent across projects.
