Quantify the business value of AI-enabled parallel exploration.
Traditional development forces premature commitment: pick one approach, invest heavily, discover late if it was wrong.

This tool helps you:
- Understand real options theory applied to software development
- Calculate the option value of parallel exploration
- Make the business case for AI-augmented development
