Rate launch necessity
Core, requested, or speculative sets the base priority.

How it works
Assess implementation risk
API quality, auth complexity, and estimated days combine into a risk score.
Get a build recommendation
Necessity and risk together produce a build-now, build-later, or skip verdict.

Frequently asked questions
What if a customer explicitly asks for an integration?
That moves it toward 'requested' or 'core' necessity, but implementation risk still matters before committing a launch date to it.
Why does auth complexity matter so much?
OAuth and enterprise SSO integrations are the most common source of underestimated implementation time.
Should I ever build a speculative integration first?
Rarely. Validate demand with a smaller signal — like a support ticket count — before committing build time.
