Business Rules & Logic

Business rules govern every automated decision the platform makes — from pricing a quote to determining whether ADAS calibration is mandatory. All rules are version-controlled in the codebase and require a Product + Engineering sign-off to change.

Quote Calculation Formula

Every quote is computed deterministically using the following formula:

// Quote Pricing Formula
Total = (Part Cost) + (Labor Hours × Labor Rate)
+ ADAS Calibration Fee (if applicable)
+ Mobile Service Fee (if applicable)
+ Sales Tax (state-specific)
− Insurance Deductible (if applicable)
// Constraint: Gross Margin ≥ 18% before tax

ADAS Calibration Rules

Safety-Critical Rule: ADAS calibration is mandatory and non-negotiable whenever a windshield replacement affects a vehicle with a forward-facing camera (ADAS-equipped). Skipping calibration exposes the company to liability under FMVSS 126 (ESC) and NHTSA enforcement. The system will block work order completion if calibration is not logged.
ADAS Feature DetectedCalibration RequiredCalibration TypeFee
Forward collision warning / AEB✅ YesStatic (target board)$150
Lane departure warning / Lane keep assist✅ YesStatic or Dynamic (road drive)$150–$250
Adaptive cruise control (radar + camera)✅ YesDynamic (15-mile road test)$250
Heads-Up Display (HUD)⚠️ Alignment onlyHUD alignment via OEM tool$75
Rain sensor only❌ NoN/A$0
Heated windshield only❌ NoN/A$0

Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT)

After windshield installation, the urethane adhesive must cure before the vehicle is safe to drive. The platform calculates SDAT and prints it on the work order and customer receipt.

Urethane TypeTemperature (°F)Minimum SDAT
Fast-cure urethane (BETASEAL Express)> 60°F1 hour
Fast-cure urethane (BETASEAL Express)40–60°F2 hours
Fast-cure urethane (BETASEAL Express)< 40°F4 hours
Standard urethaneAny8 hours (overnight recommended)
Seasonal Override: During winter months (Nov–Mar in northern states), the system automatically defaults to 2-hour SDAT minimums regardless of urethane type. Technicians cannot override this in the app without manager PIN approval.
