Now, Next, Never
Every roadmap bet hides an iceberg under its estimate.
the iceberg reveal — every bet shows only its visible tip until commit, then the submerged 90% animates into view, showing why roadmaps blow up after planning, not during it
What goes in, what comes out
Learner allocates one quarter of fixed engineering capacity across 6-9 competing bets on a Now/Next/Later board. Each bet shows only a headline cost; a hidden dependency chain and a hidden tech-debt 'interest rate' surface only after commitment, sometimes blowing the quarter's capacity.
drag bets into Now/Next/Later within the capacity cap; commit the quarter
a post-commit reveal screen showing the dependency iceberg beneath each bet, the opportunity cost of what got bumped, and a capacity-overrun readout if debt interest wasn't budgeted
team-capacity slider; number of competing bets (6-9); hidden-dependency density (low/med/high); tech-debt interest toggle on/off
