What to do with this result

Locate the stage where cost becomes irreversible; improving late-stage losses may save more cost than equal early-stage yield points.

Planning model, not personalized financial advice. Your inputs remain in your browser.

Calculation method

Rolled yield = stage 1 × stage 2 × stage 3. Required starts = shipped good units / rolled yield.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
  • Recovered capacity is not booked revenue or automatic cash savings. Validate the bottleneck, quality and demand before monetizing output.
