Candidate strategy
Typical Auto-design directions for cost estimation — compare light, balanced, and conservative sizing before committing to Validate.
| Option | Basis | Pass | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loose tolerance | Low cost | Check function | Higher variation |
| Functional tolerance | Assembly target | Pass expected | Balanced |
| Precision tolerance | High yield | High confidence | Higher cost |
