(7/20-7/20)
Challenge
To scale v2 of our shop-the-room experience, the business turned to me to understand how our process would grow cost-wise.
Action
The interim CEO asked me to determine costs as we considered beefing up our rendering pipeline by orders of magnitude.
Applying a KISS paradigm, I threw together an inital back-of-napkin estimate. That was good enough, but then the interim CEO needed a deeper level of understanding, so I worked with my Pakistani Technical Project Manager to build out a more comprehensive version of the model, taking parameters into account like the following:
- Scale Factor
- Model Throughput Per Week
- Aspirational Efficency Factor
- Cost Per Model
- Number of Modelers Needed
- Model Category
Results
- Delivered cost model iteratively for a 3D modeling pipeline to support shop-the-room.
