Calculation method
Calculation method
Independent-review effort (person-minutes)
Bids×reviewers×sum criterion minutes.
Shortlist-panel effort (person-minutes)
Shortlisted bids×joint session minutes×reviewers.
Calibration-panel effort (person-minutes)
Calibration minutes×reviewers.
Total panel effort (person-minutes)
Sum all three person-minute stages.
Ideal sequential-stage elapsed time (minutes)
Assume independent reviewers work in parallel without other tasks; sum per-reviewer independent duration+joint shortlist duration+joint calibration duration. This is a lower-bound scenario, not a calendar schedule.
Effort beyond entered panel capacity (person-minutes)
max(0,total person-minutes−reviewers×available minutes).

Assumptions & limits
- A complete-review/two-joint-stage effort scenario under supplied times. It does not score bids, select a supplier, infer reviewer authority or promise real meeting availability.
