SCOPE & QUOTE — Internal estimating desk

Software cost estimator · Websites, apps, accounting, ERP, CRM, AI

What should this software cost?

Tick the scope. The desk returns hours, an honest timeline, who does what, and — for the team — a quotation, an invoice, and a scope report ready to print. Hours first, rupiah second; every figure shows its working.

  1. i. Scope in sections 01–02, scale in 03.
  2. ii. Crew and rate in 04 set the price.
  3. iii. Issue papers from section 06.

i.

Hours first, rupiah second.

Every feature carries an hour weight. Rupiah is hours × a rate you choose and can argue about.

ii.

Rates from the Indonesian market.

Junior Rp 75–150K, mid Rp 175–350K, senior Rp 350–700K/hr; Jakarta agencies Rp 600K–1.2M/hr. Cross-checked against six local software houses.

iii.

An honest calendar.

Eight seated hours are not eight worked hours. We use 5.5/day plus revision buffer and three weeks of client-side waiting.

Scope & Quote — internal desk. Reference bands refreshed from the Indonesian software-house market. Next.js + Radix UI + Phosphor Icons. Set in Fraunces, Inter & Plex Mono.
