How this is worked out

Baseline
Eight weeks for a single-entity NetSuite go-live on standard functionality, discovery through hypercare.
Adders
Each answer contributes weeks, shown in the breakdown. Entities and data migration add the most, because both multiply the testing rather than just the build.
The range
Minus 15% and plus 20% around the total. Projects are far more likely to run long than short, which is why the range is not symmetrical.
What moves it most
Decision latency on your side. A project waiting three weeks for a chart-of-accounts sign-off slips three weeks, and no estimate can price that.

This is an indication for planning, not a quote. A real estimate comes out of a discovery conversation, where the answers that matter are the ones you did not know to mention.

The same thing, on your dashboard

Deployed, this stops being a page you visit. It becomes a portlet on the dashboard the people who need it already open every morning, reading your real records instead of numbers you type, next to the KPIs and lists they are already looking at. The amber portlet below is the only part of this screen that is ours.

Illustrative layout, and deliberately not a copy of any vendor's interface, no borrowed logo, wordmark or colour identity. The real thing inherits whatever theme, tabs and role permissions your account already uses, so on your screen it will wear your colours rather than ours.
