Inventory available assets
Check the functions, versions, licenses, and validated scope of existing models, components, and tools individually. Similar names do not establish suitability for a new project.
Baseline Reuse
Assess what can be reused before deciding what to build from scratch
Apply the team's accumulated assets to new tasks instead of repeatedly adding person-months.
Answer
What we provide
After requirements clarification, New Horizon assesses baseline reuse against model libraries, scene templates, and toolchains, identifying the reusable proportion, new work required, and a recommended schedule. This is the mechanism behind the aspiration of approximately 10% of the budget and 30% of the time.

Engineering Notes
Reuse assessment must include adaptation and revalidation costs
Estimate actual effort
Estimate direct reuse, interface adaptation, parameter recalibration, and new development separately, allowing effort for regression verification and documentation updates.
Establish evidence
Validate reuse candidates with minimal cases, recording passed checks and gaps. Reuse percentages should map to an asset inventory, rather than serve as unsupported promotional figures.
Check References, Not Just Files
Before reusing a model library, check common types, interface versions, and element identifiers. Use an independent sample to verify reference resolution, local edits, and project reopening, documenting dependencies that need replacement. Consider reusing prior verification results only when inputs and applicability still match.
