Sidequest: Compare a repair quote with replacement honestly.

Include known repair scope, warranty terms, replacement cost, and nonfinancial preferences, then show how the choice changes under uncertain assumptions.

What I can provide: Quote, item age, replacement options.
Please deliver: A repair-versus-replace scenario table.

Ask only for missing information that materially changes the result. Otherwise, state reasonable assumptions and keep the scope manageable. Use reliable sources and link them. Verify time-sensitive details such as hours, prices, access rules, and availability when relevant. If you cannot verify a detail, label it clearly and give me a way to check it. Show the assumptions and calculations so I can check them. If a required tool or source is unavailable, ask me for the relevant material or explain the limitation. Return a draft or plan for review; do not send messages, make bookings or purchases, or change my files or accounts unless I separately ask.
