Per-foot pricing is a customer format, not a cost model
Linear-foot pricing is useful for quoting, but the business still has booking-level labor, reusable inventory, delivery, cleaning and equipment costs. The calculator solves the complete quote first and then shows the implied safe per-foot number.
Install and strike both consume scarce crew-hours
A profitable install can still create a bad weekend if the same crew cannot return for strike, pack the inventory and move to the next job. Capacity is based on the full booking labor cycle, not just installation.
