Why silver needs explicit assumptions
A small error in grams matters more when metal is expensive.
Supplier premium can be more important than the public spot price.
A saved quote snapshot helps when the customer asks why the number changed later.
FAQ
Does it support supplier price override?
Yes. The app supports manual price per gram override for real supplier quotes.
Is it only for silver?
No. The same workflow can help with bronze, brass, gold and other casting metals.
Can I separate labor from material?
The launch version focuses on material-cost quote prep; labor can be handled separately in notes or future templates.
