Candidate strategy

Typical Auto-design directions for gear design — compare light, balanced, and conservative sizing before committing to Validate.

Option	Basis	Pass	Tradeoff
Minimum size	Static strength	Screen fatigue	Compact but sensitive
Recommended size	Strength + stiffness	Pass expected	Balanced
Robust size	High reserve	Pass with margin	Larger and heavier
