Form Insight: Input Concentration Logic

What is this form for?

This form is a Procurement Intelligence Tool for Agribusiness. Instead of a simple contact form, it acts as a calculator that converts land area into a precise purchasing order.

Primary Goals:

• Prevent Waste: Avoid the "dead capital" of excess chemicals sitting in storage.
• Budget Accuracy: Provide an immediate financial estimate for seasonal planning.
• Operational Readiness: Ensure the team never runs out of product mid-application.

Formula Breakdown

This template utilizes four core spreadsheet functions to ensure the math is "Field-Ready." Here is the logic you can explain to your users:

1. The Core Requirement (Multiplication)

• Purpose: To find the base amount of product needed for the specific area.
• Formula: Area * Dosage
• Insight: This is the theoretical minimum. It’s the starting point for all procurement.

2. The Safety Buffer (Percentage Logic)

• Purpose: To account for sprayer calibration overlaps, spills, or uneven terrain.
• Formula: Base amount * 1.05
• Insight: We apply a 5% buffer. In farming, it is better to have 5% too much than to be 5% short and have to pay for a second delivery or leave a section of the crop unprotected.

3. The Commercial Rounding (Ceiling Function)

• Purpose: To match real-world purchasing units (e.g., 20L drums or 50kg bags).
• Formula: CEILING(Gross Total Product, 20)
• The CEILING function rounds the requirement up to the nearest whole container size (e.g., 20), giving the farmer an actionable shopping list.

4. The Unit Normalizer (Conditional Logic)

• Purpose: To handle different measurement systems (Acres vs. Hectares).
