| Work | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Open P0 (23: autosave/recovery, Preferences, Color panel/picker, Gradient tool, Place PDF/SVG, DOCX/RTF import, PDF/X-4, parent overrides UI, …) | 35 h |
| Open P1 (66: type on a path, nested/GREP styles, table/cell styles, pathfinder, glyphs panel, package, print, variable fonts, …) | 165 h |

Basis: this session landed 12 arcs (footnotes, cross-references, index, anchored objects, guides, Links, Find Font,
clipboard, menus, damage repaint, agent scripting) in about 13 hours on a heavily loaded machine — roughly 1–3 hours per
catalogue row depending on size.
Basis: since the first estimate this effort landed about 45 arcs (from parent overrides, Preferences, Stroke panel,
gradients and Pathfinder to table/cell styles, nested/GREP styles and Print) in roughly 14 hours on a heavily loaded
machine — about 1–2 hours per catalogue row.
