How Celvanto Works

Making a appliance total cost of ownership decision without the right data is like driving with your eyes closed. Celvanto changes that.

The Problem

Most appliance total cost of ownership tools give you a single number with no uncertainty range. That number is almost certainly wrong because it ignores the variance in real-world outcomes.

Our Approach

Celvanto uses Monte Carlo simulation — the same technique actuaries and financial engineers use — to model thousands of possible outcomes. Instead of one guess, you get a probability distribution.

We pull data from free federal sources (no paid APIs, no bias) and combine it with published academic frameworks. The math is the moat — no competitor does this.

What You Get

• Expected cost: The most likely outcome
• Worst case (P95): What happens if everything goes wrong
• Best case (P5): The optimistic scenario
• Sensitivity analysis: Which variables matter most

The result is a comprehensive report that tells you not just what to do, but how confident you should be in that decision.
