Write a source note for a modeled business example
Let readers separate arithmetic, assumptions, and observed evidence.
Identify where each input came from
A hypothetical $42 acquisition ceiling can be used to teach a method. Label it as illustrative and show which order and cost records a reader would use to replace it.
Record the scope of any observed figure
If an input comes from an actual report, include the period, event definition, and relevant exclusions. Obtain permission where necessary and remove private information. Do not imply results are typical unless the evidence supports that claim.
Make the model reproducible
Show the equation in text and add one alternative case. If a cost is uncertain, leave it visible instead of burying it in a single total.

Estimate what you can pay to acquire an order while reserving a desired contribution. Use consistent per-order inputs.
