CarbideIQ Repair-or-Retire Economics
Works out for each returning bit whether repair or retirement earns more at live tungsten prices, and which body type fits each job.

The Challenge
Repair-or-retire and material selection decisions are often based on engineering judgement rather than a consistent economic evaluation, leading to avoidable material and lifecycle costs.
How It Works
- Ingests repair job records and costs, run history per serial, parts prices and a tungsten feed.
- Models remaining-life economics per bit at today's material prices and by body type.
- Returns a keep-or-retire call with the money shown, plus reclaim plans and what-if views.
What It Removes
- Repair-or-retire calls made by judgement
- Body-type choices priced on purchase cost
- Reclaimable material bought new

Output FormatRepair-or-retire recommendation with economics, body-type guidance, reclaim plan, price-shock what-ifs
“Every repair decision backed by numbers at today's tungsten price, not last year's habit.”
