a recommendation for the team make up, and an approximate time range in which you can expect to finish it.

Those are kind of quantify. You might end up convincing new players that they "have" to run the task force in the team formation a Dev slapped on ("you should have every AT! Every person is a unique snowflake!") when that's certainly not going to be a realistic team composition except in some weird world of ideal (dev test
) conditions.
A time frame is hard to pin down since it depends on the team composition and character. Positron: 2 hours if you know what you're doing and don't have players stopping for an AFK break every mission, 9 hours if you're a PUG and do have random AFKs, drop-out members, and general disorganization.
in big red letters they could flash: THIS WILL TAKE LONGER THAN AN HOUR, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS IF YOU NEED TO GO TO WORK/SCHOOL/BED WITHIN THE NEXT HALF HOUR.
What if they did something weird like everything unlocks a costume piece or some a permanent flavor power(emote)? For doing Positron maybe he gives you a toy helmet replica of his you can hold.
edit for a brainfart in team size..
ooh, they should reduce the start size requirement of the highest level TFs though except for the ones that absolutely REQUIRE 8 players to accomplish some in-mission task, like clicking 8 glowies in unison. I remember how hard it could be to just get enough warm bodies to fill the slots.
