A 'ballpark' estimate is a euphemism that loosely translates to an estimate as big as a ballpark.
One way is to:
- Collect a few parameters, so that you know the possible lowest number and the possible highest number.
- Add variables that will affect the numbers one way or the other, then adjust the range: your low and high numbers can change.
- Look at history, to see if there are patterns or estimates there.
- Label your estimates as estimates, and document your logic in arriving at the number.
