A "one size fits all" ratio assumes that there's a constant relationship
between the output of the design team vs. the work required of an
engineering team. We can't know how much engineering work is ahead of us,
regardless of the amount of time spent on a design. Some complex
functionality is surprisingly easy to build, and vice versa.

Maybe instead of a simple UX to Engineering ratio we need a Product
Complexity to Engineering ratio, where Product Complexity comes from
Business Requirements, Functional Spec, etc.
