Oliver’s presentation about Fermi estimates makes the point that it’s useful to separate an Fermi estimate into multiple subpredictions.
Is there a tool out there to make the task easy?
I could imagine a webapp or android app, where you say how you want to split and that then adds up the numbers for you. Is there something like that out there?
