What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you judge whether a plan, roadmap item, or investment is asking for more time and commitment than the team can honestly support. It surfaces the single riskiest unknown, checks whether confidence matches the size of the bet, and calls out when a timeline looks more like pressure than belief.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Riskiest Unknown First: Identifies the most likely cause of slip or failure and names it specifically.
- Confidence vs. Investment Check: Compares the team’s real confidence with the size of the requested commitment.
- De-risking Recommendations: Suggests a smaller spike, prototype, or pilot when the larger bet is oversized for current knowledge.
- Use Case: Review a product proposal, roadmap milestone, or funding request when the concern is not cost maintenance or stakeholder alignment, but whether the bet is actually sized to the team’s confidence.
Quick Start
Ask the bet-sizer skill to review this plan and tell me the riskiest unknown, whether the investment is oversized for our confidence, and what smaller bet would de-risk it.
