Free roadmap capacity calculator.
Input:
Team size
Sprint/cycle length
Safety buffer %
Output:
What actually fits
What gets pushed
Trade-offs
Built for PMs who are tired of over-promising.

I've worked at 4 companies.
At every single one, we did the exact same capacity math in planning meetings.
Spreadsheets. Story points. Arguing.
Finally just automated it.
Free tool, takes 30 seconds: usehozon.com/tools/roadmap-c…
If you hate these meetings too, try it.
3 devs × 6 weeks × 40 hours = 720 hours
Minus:
Meetings (15%)
Bug fixes (10%)
"Life happens" (15%)
Real capacity: 432 hours
This is why you never ship everything on the roadmap.
Made a calculator: usehozon.com/tools/roadmap-c…
5 PMs have used my free capacity tool so far.
All 5 realized they were over-committing by 30-40%.
Turns out when you add a safety buffer for "stuff goes wrong," your estimates actually match reality.
Try it: usehozon.com/tools/roadmap-c…
Why your roadmap estimates are always wrong:
You forget about bug fixes
Someone goes on vacation
Shit happens
Solution: Add a 20-30% safety buffer to everything.
I built a calculator that does this automatically: usehozon.com/tools/roadmap-c…
Quick poll for PMs:
When planning sprints/cycles, do you:
A) Add safety buffers to estimates
B) Use the optimistic estimate
C) Just wing it
D) Spend 3 hours arguing about it
I built a tool for option A: usehozon.com/tools/roadmap-c…
Planning meeting yesterday:
Engineer: "This will take 3 weeks"
PM: "Can you do it in 2?" 🙏
Engineer: "...probably?" 👀
It took 4 weeks 🫠
Built a free tool that adds safety buffers to capacity planning so you stop doing this dance.

Without my tool: "We can ship Features A, B, C, D this quarter!" ✅
With 20% safety buffer: "Realistically... A, B, C" ⚠️
Reality 3 months later: You shipped A, B, C ✅
Stop over-promising. Use this: usehozon.com/tools/roadmap-c…
Your team estimates 6 weeks.
Reality: 8 weeks.
Every. Single. Time.
Built a free planning tool that forces you to add a safety buffer for "shit happens."
Shows you what you can actually ship, not what you hope to ship.

PMs spend hours in planning meetings doing the same math:
"Can we fit Features A, B, C in this sprint?"
Opens spreadsheet, argues about capacity, someone suggests cutting scope
I got tired of this. Built a free calculator that does it in 30 seconds.

If you're a SaaS founder who wishes you had data on which features actually drive upgrades...
We're building exactly that.
Revenue attribution A/B testing smart targeting, built into your changelog.
First 30 get early access: usehozon.com
Update: 8/30 early access spots filled.
The most common feedback so far: "Wait, this doesn't exist already?"
No. It doesn't.
That's why we're building it.
22 spots left: usehozon.com
Why your product updates aren't driving upgrades:
Wrong users see the announcement (free users see enterprise features)
Treat your changelog like a conversion funnel, not a blog.
Early access for the first 30: usehozon.com
3 reasons your product updates aren't driving upgrades:
You're not tracking who clicks → who upgrades
The fix? Treat your changelog like a conversion funnel, not a blog.

SaaS founder problems:
❌ "Did that feature launch drive upgrades?"
❌ "Which announcement headline works better?"
❌ "Should we show this to free users or just paid?"
✅ Having actual data instead of Slack debates
Building something for this. Thoughts?
Talked to 15 SaaS founders this week.
12 of them couldn't tell me which feature launch drove the most expansion revenue last quarter.
But all 12 could tell me their churn rate.
We're building something to fix this
Early access for the first 30: usehozon.com
You spent 6 months building SSO.
Announced it in your changelog.
847 users viewed it.
How many upgraded because of it?
You have no idea.
This is why expansion revenue feels like guesswork.
