Guides

Tool-backed explainers — not generic blog posts. We document assumptions, examples, and decision logic so you can use the calculators confidently and explain your numbers internally.

Where to start

Read the framework first, then run the calculator. That combination prevents the most common mistakes: optimistic utilization, optimistic residual, and underestimated maintenance.

Reminder: guides explain cost-based logic — not market benchmarks (market varies by region, demand, delivery, operator, and service level).

FAQ

Why not publish lots of articles?

Quantity without usefulness doesn’t build trust. Each guide must support a tool and improve a real decision.

Are these “market benchmarks”?

No. We focus on cost-based decision logic. Market pricing varies by region, availability, and service level.

Can I suggest a topic?

Yes. The best topics are questions you repeatedly hear from customers or colleagues.
