How ScopedLabs works

Decision support for technicians and builders

ScopedLabs is designed for the moment right before you order parts or commit to an install: “Will this actually work in the real world?” Each tool is meant to be a reliable sanity-check, not a sales pitch.

• Field math — quick sizing and verification.
• Planning checks — guardrails for common failure points.
• Clear assumptions — you can see exactly what the calculator is doing.

Not a vendor tool. Not a quote generator.

ScopedLabs does not recommend brands, upsell product, or pretend a perfect spreadsheet can replace onsite realities. It’s here to help you avoid under-sizing, catch unrealistic expectations, and make tradeoffs visible.

• No brand bias or affiliate product pushes.
• No “one-number” outputs without context.
• No hidden assumptions.

The rules every calculator follows

• Assumptions are explicit — overhead and efficiency are visible, not buried.
• Headroom is encouraged — tools prefer safe design over razor-thin margins.
• Outputsisk is surfaced — you’ll see what breaks first when you push limits.
• Inputs are simple — fewer fields, better defaults, less friction.

If a tool can’t defend its math in plain language, it doesn’t ship.

Built around categories

Tools are organized by the lane you’re working in — Power, Video & Storage, and Network. Each category keeps calculations consistent, so outputs are comparable across tools.

Pro unlocks by category

ScopedLabs Pro (when enabled) unlocks advanced tools by category. If you unlock a category, you get all current and future Pro tools in that category — no per-tool purchases.

Note: Pro wiring/checkout may be staged. If the Upgrade page isn’t live yet, this section is informational only.

Accuracy and responsibility

Outputs are estimates based on the inputs you provide. Always validate against manufacturer specs, code requirements, and the realities of your environment (cable quality, interference, temperature, age, and load growth).
