Load Per Reviewer
28.8 min
Models review time from changeset size and complexity assumptions.
Shows how reviewer count and overhead affect end-to-end PR flow.
Helps avoid overloaded reviewers and slow approvals.
650 LOC, 14 files, medium complexity, 2 reviewers:
Review Time
~55 min
Cycle Time
~0.5 h
The model combines line-by-line review effort with file navigation overhead, complexity adjustment, and reviewer parallelization efficiency to estimate both effort and cycle-time impact.
