## About This Assessment

This calculator evaluates your data pipeline complexity based on factors that directly impact development and maintenance effort:

- **Data source diversity:** More source types increase integration complexity.
- **Freshness requirements:** Real-time needs demand more robust infrastructure.
- **Transformation complexity:** Complex logic requires specialized expertise.
- **Consumer count:** More downstream dependencies increase change impact.
- **Compliance requirements:** Regulatory needs add audit and control overhead.

Organizations with higher complexity scores typically see the greatest benefit from Belvedere's automation capabilities.
