9.3 Cost Estimation (cost-estimator) — draft

Purpose: Rough manufacturing cost from material, machining, labor, overhead heuristics.

Method: Empirical weighted sum — not a quoting system.

UI: Legacy layout. No unit profile.

Gaps: Draft status; no CAD integration; region/currency not modeled.

Maintainer note: Heuristic scoring model; low numerical coupling.
