Setting a Recommended Price

Once a pricing method shows Ready, you can mark it as your recommended price for that piece.

The recommended price is the method you think best fits this particular piece. For a labor-intensive or highly detailed piece, you might choose time plus materials. For a piece that fits neatly into your standard body of work at a consistent size, you might choose square inch.

There is no rule about which method to use as your recommended price. The point is to make a deliberate choice... not just take whichever number is highest or lowest... and record it alongside the calculation.

When you save a calculation, the recommended method and its price are stored with it. You can change your recommendation before saving.

The recommended price does not auto-publish anywhere or set a price in any connected system. It is a reference tag: a record of which number you chose and which method you used, for when you come back to this piece later.
