Pros

How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Its friction factor is 7. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 12°C, against 24°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. At 60% hydration, the calculator flags batches over 6 kg. For a 50% biga, the limit drops to 4.2 kg. Under 600 g, it warns that the batch is too small.
Hydration range. Its maker publishes a 60% minimum, so the calculator flags drier doughs.
