Here are the steps to starting using the tool now:

Step 1: Access the Tool by visiting :https://budget.design1st.com/ 

Step 2: Enter your product idea

Enter as much detail as possible. Be specific about features like electronics, software, sensors, or connectivity. The more precise you are, the better the tool can estimate your development effort.

For example:

• A smart kitchen appliance that has electronics, sensors, mobile app integration, and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control.
• A wearable fitness tracker that has electronics, embedded sensors, GPS, and Bluetooth connectivity for syncing with smartphones.
• An outdoor sports camera with electronics, it is rugged and waterproof and equipped with advanced stabilization software and 4K video capabilities.
• A reusable coffee cup with a simple temperature control feature and an integrated digital display (no electronics or software needed).
• A connected home device with electronics, AI voice control, cloud integration, and real-time sensor data processing.

Step 3: Refine your estimate. 

Once you have your initial budget, you can adjust based on additional details. For example, if you add custom firmware development, require specific compliance certifications, or change material selections, the tool will update your budget accordingly. Ask questions like, “What if my product needs continuous software updates?” or “How does adding more sensors impact my budget?”

By providing detailed input early on, you’ll get a more tailored budget estimate that reflects the actual complexity of your product, helping you plan with confidence.
