Include the raw score and the level (high/medium/low) in the summary.
If the node is
not found
in the popularity file, note that it may be a community node or a very new/niche node.
6. Assess Effort/Complexity
After gathering all context, assess the effort required to fix/implement the issue. Use the following T-shirt sizes:
Size
Approximate effort
XS
≤ 1 hour
S
≤ 1 day
M
2-3 days
L
3-5 days
XL
≥ 6 days
To make this assessment, consider:
Scope of changes
How many files/packages need to be modified? Is it a single node fix or a cross-cutting change?
Complexity
Is it a straightforward parameter change, a new API integration, a new credential type, or an architectural change?
Testing
How much test coverage is needed? Are E2E tests required?
Risk
Could this break existing functionality? Does it need backward compatibility?
Dependencies
Are there external API changes, new packages, or cross-team coordination needed?
Documentation
Does this require docs updates, migration guides, or changelog entries?
Provide the T-shirt size along with a brief justification explaining the key factors that drove the estimate.
7. Present Summary
Before presenting, verify you have completed:
