PRACTICAL GUIDANCE

Use the right tool with confidence

Short, useful guidance for understanding results and choosing an appropriate BQ tool.

Choose the narrowest useful tool

Start with the tool that matches your exact task. Focused inputs usually produce clearer results than an oversized all-purpose form.

Check units and assumptions

Before relying on a result, confirm the units, dates, rounding and assumptions shown by the tool.

Treat estimates as estimates

Calculators support decisions, but results can depend on the information you enter and the rules that apply to your situation.
