A decision process you can audit
A useful calculator should show what changes the answer, not hide a recommendation behind one default.
- Start with the contract, bill, quote, or usage history—not a promotional headline.
- Compare alternatives over the same period and keep recoverable value separate from true cost.
- Change the uncertain inputs until the result flips; a fragile answer needs more evidence.
- Confirm current prices, taxes, eligibility, cancellation rules, and professional advice where the stakes require it.
