How do I calculate the total cost for a batch?

You can use the `get_total_cost` tool by providing the total number of units and the cost per individual package.

Can I check if my packaging run is within budget?

Yes, the `validate_batch_viability` tool allows you to specify a maximum budget to see if your planned batch is financially viable.

Are there discounts for large orders?

Yes, you can use `get_bulk_discount_cost` to calculate a reduced unit cost when the package count meets a specific threshold.
