eye of newt and toe of frog
Roger calls it eye of newt and toe of frog, we in the hollowed hall of the great 5 sided castle quotiux call an "engineer estimate" or a "SWAG."
An engineer estimate == properly designed structure which will fail in predictable ways when overloaded.
SWAG==properly designed structure that has an unknown failure mode and unknown ultimate load(ing).
The bottom line is cost; we can do it faster, cheaper, or better. Pick two.
If you want it delivered faster and cheaper it will not be better.
If you want it better and cheaper you will not get it any time soon.
If you want it better and delivered soon it will not be cheap.
