estimations
Ballpark figure attempts
Estimations are judgments or calculations about quantity, value, or character.
The word covers both numerical approximations (cost estimations for the project) and assessments of worth or quality (He rose in my estimations after that).
The phrase in my estimation means "in my opinion" or "as I judge it."
