The Honest Answer
To launch (P0): ~50 engineering days, ~$3,000, ~5-6 weeks calendar. Most of that is test execution (proofs), not coding. Pure new code is ~15 days.
To launch with quality (P0+P1): add ~6.5 days → ~56 days, same budget.
To launch with polish (P0+P1+P2): add ~22 days → ~78 days, same budget.
Everything including future (P0+P1+P2+P3): ~85 days total.
The critical path is the GEPA proof (18 days) — that's the longest single item and it's on the critical path to Paper 2.
