Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.

Freight Volume Calculator
Freight volume arithmetic from a product's external dimensions — retrieves and cross-checks dimensions from a supplier listing, then pallet quantity across 11 pallet standards, container loads palletised or floor-loaded for 20 ft / 40 ft / HC / reefer / 13.6 m trailer with stated buffers and payload limits, master-carton permutations ranked by units per container, and freight cost per unit from rates you supply. Reproduces published trade figures; holds no rate data and makes no network call.
How to run each
