Guide

When a quick tool is good enough, and when it is not

A short guide to estimates, disclaimers, and using Technofatty responsibly.

Good enough means useful, not perfect

A quick calculator is useful when it helps you understand the shape of a decision: the likely range, the obvious trade-off, or the part that deserves attention. It is not a replacement for source data or professional judgement.

Use estimates for reversible decisions

Room area, VAT, date gaps, rough subscription reviews, and simple purchase checks are usually good candidates for quick tools. They help you move without pretending the answer is more exact than it is.

Slow down for high-stakes contexts

Health, legal, tax, safeguarding, finance, and safety questions need more care. Technofatty can flag obvious issues, but important decisions should be checked against qualified advice or official sources.
