How does it handle incomplete data?

The skill is programmed to be conservative and avoid false precision when data is missing, focusing on the broader choices and tradeoffs rather than raw, potentially inaccurate numbers.

What inputs are required for the analysis?

The skill requires a cost tracking sheet (including roles, hours per week, and rates) and a current list of active projects and their owners.

How does this skill help with budget management?

It summarizes total monthly costs and hours across specific roles, providing a clear snapshot of financial allocation and where budget is being utilized.

Can it help me decide which projects to prioritize?

Yes, the skill performs scenario analysis to show the impact of starting or stopping projects, helping you identify which actions provide the highest leverage.
