Document economy assumptions

The problem

A balancing spreadsheet is only useful when another designer can reproduce it.

Practical procedure

Record units, starting stock, production timing, upkeep timing, upgrade order and whether fractional resources exist.

Worked scenario

Paying upkeep before production can produce a temporary shortage that disappears when the order is reversed.

Acceptance check

Create one worked example and assert that the tool reproduces its exact turn-by-turn ledger.

Apply the method

Use the related interactive tool to try the concept on an inspectable example. Record the starting assumptions and expected result before changing settings, then compare what the tool actually does. Where the result differs, keep the release marked experimental and document the discrepancy.
