"Assumptions"
"All defaults are illustrative. The 3% fee is an assumed input, not a BlueFinch rate or industry average."
"Price and costs use the same before-tax basis. Amounts are rounded to cents."
"Bay occupancy and person-hours are measured independently. Product-specific cure time must come from the actual instructions."
"Results exclude overhead, tax, financing, unentered owner labor, rework and other omitted costs. Contribution is not net profit."

"Result notes"
"Contribution excludes overhead, tax, owner compensation not entered, rework and other omitted costs. It is not net profit."
"Bay-hours measure elapsed space occupancy. Labor-hours measure total person-hours. They are different denominators."
"The model assumes the entered job price is collected in full. It does not predict settlement timing or demand."
