Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I start?
If you're buying — start with Valuation, then ROI. If you're building — start with Size Wizard, then Equipment Configurator. If you're operating — start with Break-Even, then WDF Pricing. Each calculator suggests the next logical tool based on your inputs.

How do these compare to a CPA or broker analysis?
The calculators give you credible directional numbers in 5–15 minutes that match what a CPA or broker would produce in 1–3 hours. For deals over $500K, you should still engage a CPA for the final tax-optimized model — but use the calculators first to confirm the deal pencils before paying for professional analysis.
