WORKED EXAMPLE (HYPOTHETICAL; CASH LIMIT $600)
Machine and G9 pad prices are list prices seen October 29, 2026.
Every other amount is hypothetical. Washing equipment is already owned.
G9 path:    $179.99 machine + $59.98 pads (2 sets 6.5 inch BOSS)
            + $50 polish/protection + $60 towels/masking/pad cleaning
            + $100 lighting/protective equipment/cord + $30 tax/delivery
            = $479.97. Margin $600 - $479.97 = $120.03. CASH CHECK PASSES.
            Purchase check stays open until Griot's approves the
            6.5 inch BOSS pads (B130F6) on the G9's 6 inch plate.
LHR15 path: $525 machine + $60 pads + $50 + $60 + $100 + $60 tax/delivery
            = $855.00. Margin $600 - $855.00 = -$255.00. CASH CHECK FAILS.
Replace each hypothetical line with a dated quote and rerun the totals.
