Use the Complexity Cost template to explain the hidden costs of introducing complexity into a software engineering or mechanical engineering project. Complexity cost deals with the total amount that a certain feature will cost in the long run, beyond its actual initial cost.
The Proposal Packs, wizard, and Estimate templates helped me to organize my thoughts and allowed me to focus on the substance of the proposals, rather than the logistics of creating them. We are now able to produce high-quality proposals very efficiently."

Complexity cost deals with the total amount that certain feature will cost in the long run beyond its actual initial cost. For example programmers adding new feature to software program might consider only the time that feature takes to implement but not take into account how much extra overhead that feature will incur in documentation client support tech support training and ensuring that feature is properly maintained in future upgrades. Introduce the topic of complexity cost here and explain why it is important to discuss. Are you concerned about one feature or an overall trend in complexity. Cost Item Amount Documentation Insert
