Window SKU Complexity with configuration complexity severity score of 18 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the window sku complexity calculation on the strong side: configuration complexity severity score of 18 score, with every other input held at its documented default. deciding whether a window SKU mix needs extra review, scheduling protection, or premium pricing

The inputs for this scenario

  • configuration complexity severity score: 18 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 7)
  • configuration occurrence score: 6 score (unchanged)
  • complexity detection difficulty score: 5 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Window SKU complexity score = weighted score from configuration severity, occurrence, and detection difficulty) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10.55 score for window sku complexity score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 score for configuration complexity severity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 6 score for configuration occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 score for complexity detection difficulty.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where configuration complexity severity score sits at 7 score and the headline result is 6.15 score, this scenario comes in 71.54% above the baseline at 10.55 score.
  • Use it when rationalizing a window catalog, prioritizing engineering or tooling investment, or deciding which custom configurations to surcharge or discontinue. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • window SKU complexity score: 10.55 score (headline result)
