Models total project cost and time. Optimizes within battery ecosystems and space constraints to minimize waste, rework, and anxiety.

Value is cost per accurate, clean cut—time and materials included.

A weekend built-in went sideways when a bargain blade burned through birch ply, chipping edges and devouring my spare sheet. Replacing it with a mid-tier combo saved the project and two hours. Since then, I quantify total cost: tool price plus material loss, time, and rework anxiety.

I prioritize kits that reduce waste and callbacks even if upfront price is higher.
