Afrexai Capacity Planner

# Capacity Planner

Plan team and infrastructure capacity before it becomes a crisis.

## What It Does

Takes your current workload data — team size, utilization rates, project pipeline, seasonal patterns — and builds a forward-looking capacity model. Flags bottlenecks 4-8 weeks before they hit.

## When to Use

- Sprint planning feels like guesswork
- You're not sure if you can take on a new client/project
- Hiring decisions need data, not gut feel
- Infrastructure keeps getting slammed at predictable times

## How to Use

Tell the agent about your situation:

```
"We have 8 engineers, 3 active projects, and a new client starting in March. Can we handle it?"
```

The agent will:
1. **Audit current load** — Map people to commitments, calculate true utilization (not the number in your head)
2. **Model scenarios** — What happens if the new project lands? What if two people quit? What if scope grows 30%?
3. **Flag risks** — Identify single points of failure, overloaded roles, deadline clusters
4. **Recommend actions** — Hire, redistribute, defer, or say no — with numbers behind each option

## Capacity Framework

### Utilization Bands
| Band | Rate | Meaning |
|------|------|---------|
| 🟢 Green | <70% | Healthy buffer for unplanned work |
| 🟡 Yellow | 70-85% | Sustainable but tight |
| 🔴 Red | >85% | Burnout zone — something will slip |

### Key Metrics
- **Effective capacity** = headcount × available hours × efficiency factor (typically 0.7-0.8)
- **Demand pipeline** = committed hours + probable hours (weighted by likelihood)
- **Buffer ratio** = (capacity - demand) / capacity — target 15-25%
- **Time to constraint** = weeks until demand exceeds capacity at current trajectory

### Scenario Template
For each scenario, output:
- Headcount needed vs. available
- Skill gaps (specific roles/capabilities missing)
- Timeline risk (which deadlines move)
- Cost impact (overtime, contractors, lost revenue from saying no)
- Recommended action with confidence level

## Output...

# Capacity Planner

Plan team and infrastructure capacity before it becomes a crisis. Maps people to projects, models scenarios, and flags bottlenecks 4-8 weeks before they hit.

**No more guessing** whether you can take on that new client or if your team is about to burn out.

## Features

- Utilization tracking with green/yellow/red bands
- Scenario modeling (new hires, attrition, scope changes)
- Buffer ratio monitoring (target 15-25%)
- Skill gap identification
- Actionable recommendations with cost impact

## Usage

Install via ClawHub, then ask your agent:

> "We have 8 engineers, 3 active projects, and a new client starting in March. Can we handle it?"

The agent audits current load, models scenarios, flags risks, and recommends specific actions — backed by numbers.
