Weeks earlier each study could launch–
Developer days returned a year–
Indicative development cost avoided–a year, at your day rate
App updates that become configuration–
Developer days a year
Today
Configuration-led
– store releases a year for iOS and Android, run by the pipeline instead of by hand.
How it’s worked out: every new study and every change after launch counts as one app update, built for both stores. Only the share you set as new features still needs development, and each of those still takes as long as today. That keeps the estimate conservative. Launch time works the same way: only the new-feature share still waits on development. Sponsor onboarding, when you include it, uses the same share. The cost figure is the developer days returned multiplied by your day rate. It excludes the platform’s build and running costs, which we scope with you.
