This Does Not Scale - If there are software development projects that can be executed without knowing how much it will cost in the end (an open ended spend plan), or projects where the budget is capped (a Not To Exceed Number) and we don't really need to know the upper bound of the features to be delivered, how large can this notion scale?

This model can be produced parametrically (Reference Class Forecasting) or through a simulation (Monte Carlo or Method of Moments is common). . An estimate is a statistic about a whole population of possible values from a previous reference period or a model that can generate possible values given the conditions of the model.
