Refactor calculator
This calculator assists in making informed decisions about whether to refactor an existing software application or completely rebuild it. By inputting various factors such as technical debt, feature completeness, team expertise, time and cost constraints, and risk level, the calculator evaluates the most suitable approach. It provides a clear recommendation based on the calculated scores, helping stakeholders navigate the complexities of software development projects efficiently.
