| Work | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Open P0 (3: PDF/X-4 output intent and validation, EPS place, remaining Preferences sections) | 12 h |
| Open P1 (9: New Window, primary text frame, stroke styles, colour management, image import options, variable-font axes, language support, UI keyboard navigation) | 25 h |
| Open P2 (54: liquid/alternate layouts, books, buttons & forms, XML, track changes, vertical/RTL type, …) | 150 h |

| Open P2 (37: 12 missing — spread rotation, page transitions, vertical/RTL type, math, video/audio, split window, localization, flattener, placed-file layers — and 25 partial) | 110 h |
| Depth and pixel fidelity of every dialog, panel and menu against InDesign 2026 | 90 h |
| Performance (incremental composition, GPU raster) and interchange hardening (IDML/PDF corpus) | 55 h |
