When trying to figure out what a project will cost and how long it will take to complete, you take the worst case scenarios that you can possibly imagine for both time and cost. When you have those 2 numbers you then multiply them both by 4 and that will give you an accurate estimate of what the project will actually cost and how long it will actually take to complete.

“I’m sorry man! I ignored Hutson’s Law and it bit me in the ass again. Tell your mom her dungeon will be ready soon, but she’s going to need to take a few more trips around the block to pay for it”
