The prompt
Estimate: {{question}}
What I know: {{known}}
Break it into the factors you are multiplying, state the assumed value for each,
and mark which assumption the answer is most sensitive to. Give a range, not a
point.
I care more about being able to challenge one input than about the final number. What to fill in
- {{question}}
- What to estimate — e.g. bandwidth cost of serving prompts.json to 50k users daily
- {{known}}
- What you already know — e.g. the file is ~180 KB; most checks return 304
