What problem does it solve?

Anchoring estimates to a proven reference class before considering internal plan details helps avoid planning bias and over-optimism.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reference-class anchoring: establish a base-rate estimate from historical data before applying inside-view reasoning.
  • Uncertainty-aware planning: produce range-based forecasts (low–high) with explicit risk factors.
  • Decision support: assist stakeholders in setting realistic timelines, budgets, and success criteria for projects.

Quick Start

Provide a baseline outside-view estimate for your current task by first identifying the relevant reference class and then anchoring your estimate to its base rate.
