# CoreMF buy / build assessment

Use the same workflow and acceptance criteria for each option. Fill estimates
from your own project; this template supplies no savings or pricing assumptions.

## 1. Scope

- Product and decision owner:
- Current stack / in-house baseline:
- Inputs, processing, outputs and metadata:
- Target platform, hardware, dependency versions and deployment:
- Concurrent streams/rooms and latency/quality/resource requirements:
- Required application UI, policy, orchestration and operations:

## 2. Work and responsibility

| Work item                                      | CoreMF SDK reuse + work remaining | In-house baseline + work remaining | Scoped integration + handover |
| ---------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| I/O, formats, decode/encode                    |                                   |                                    |                               |
| Graph lifecycle, timing, synchronization       |                                   |                                    |                               |
| Graphics, audio, custom processing             |                                   |                                    |                               |
| RTC, composition and recording                 |                                   |                                    |                               |
| Application UI and business policy             |                                   |                                    |                               |
| Security, infrastructure and operations        |                                   |                                    |                               |
| Testing, platform and package qualification    |                                   |                                    |                               |
| Documentation, support and dependency upgrades |                                   |                                    |                               |

## 3. Delivery and cost over one agreed period

- Evaluation/delivery milestone:
- Estimated engineering time, staffing and confidence per option:
- License and source/deployment rights needed:
- Contracted engineering and support costs:
- Infrastructure, bandwidth, storage and monitoring costs:
- Maintenance, upstream changes and upgrade exposure:
- Opportunity cost and schedule impact:
- Procurement, supplier dependency, source access and exit/handover plan:

## 4. Acceptance and decision

- Representative media / room workload:
- Correctness and output comparison:
- Frame or packet latency boundary; p95/p99:
- CPU/GPU/memory/queue limits:
- Lifecycle, drain, failure and reconnect checks:
- Dependency, API, package and platform verification:
- Assumptions verified / remaining unknowns:
- Evidence identity and test conditions:
- Selected option, owner and next review date:

Runtime performance results do not by themselves measure engineering savings.
