## Debt Quantification
|
||
|
||
### Technical Debt Ratio
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Technical Debt Ratio = (Remediation Time / Development Time) × 100
|
||
Estimated Ratio: 45%
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Debt Distribution
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Critical: 40% (Testing, Security, Error Handling)
|
||
Major: 35% (Performance, Accessibility, i18n)
|
||
