Why four dimensions?

One number can't capture what makes a ticket hard

A ticket can be low-effort but high-risk. Simple technically but full of unknowns. Standard planning poker collapses all of this into a single number — and precision is lost.

SDP Estimate has each person score four independent dimensions first. The discussion that surfaces is specific, productive, and reveals exactly where the team's uncertainty lies.

Effort

How much time and resource does this require? Is it three lines or three days?

Risk

What external factors — dependencies, third parties, infrastructure — could derail this?

Complexity

How hard is this to understand, technically and from a domain perspective?

Uncertainty

How many unknowns are there? How well does the team know this part of the system?
