🎯 Takeaway Tip

When designing a pricing calculator, add a feature for users to save and label different configurations. For example, enable teams to save scenarios like “High-Performance Setup” or “Budget-Friendly Setup” and compare them side-by-side in a summary view. This makes it easier for stakeholders to review and agree on the best option.
