calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.

In this drill example, a table shows the
potential value for each force, including the force
pulling down on the weight of the drill (gravity),
the force of the user pushing in the material being
drilled, the force of the trigger being pulled, and
the torque of the motor trying to rotate the drill
and drill bit.
Try to design for low-consumption
behavior to nudge the user toward less-wasteful
habits.
