Capacity to reach DoD
Done PBI's is not a done increment, I think nobody would argue with that, right :) Velocity would help make the forecast of how many PBI's a team could be able to delivery in a sprint. I wonder that is the effort(let it be capacity) delta between the effort to complete stories and make an increment compliant to DoD. Of course it depends on the context of the product being developed. Just want to get a sense of how big the delta can be. Please share you thoughts. Thank you.

The Scrum Guide says: "The moment a Product Backlog item meets the Definition of Done, an Increment is born." There's your delta.
Yeah, that's right. I wonder what is the effort between a PBI defined by AC's and really done PBI?

I would argue with that statement, quoting the same part of the Scrum Guide that Ian did. If your Definition of Done for a Product Backlog Item does not result in a Done increment, then that is a problem that needs to be solved with your Definition of Done. Whenever a PBI is Done, there should be a new product Increment. The only question is if anything happens with that Increment - just because there's a new product Increment does not mean that it has to be demonstrated, delivered, or deployed to stakeholders.

It should be 0. Assuming that a "story" is a Product Backlog Item, when the story conforms to the Definition of Done, then the Increment should also conform to the Definition of Done.
If, for some reason, you need to do more work in order to make the Increment something that is acceptable to stakeholders, those are opportunities to improve your development environment and process.

Whatever it is, it must be enough to overcome:
- the lack of transparency over whatever "really done" means, plus
- the opportunity cost incurred through putting an empirical outcome in delay
I realized that the question statement was confusing and indeed with incorrectness. I was wondering about the delta of what is implemented within the story(only what's defined by the PBI scope) and what it takes to make the PBI to DoD.

That delta is technical debt.
Thank you all for your comments.
