Description
This project is a simple, interactive calculator designed to estimate how much life is left in a pair of running shoes based on real-world usage.
Users input a few key variables — such as time owned, weekly distance, and body weight — and the system generates a clear, easy-to-understand “condition score” along with guidance on when replacement may be needed.
While the tool is designed for runners, the underlying concept applies to a wide range of businesses.
Any product or service with a lifecycle — equipment, consumables, maintenance intervals, or usage-based wear — can benefit from this type of decision support.
Instead of leaving customers to guess, businesses can provide:
- Clear replacement timelines
- Data-driven recommendations
- Proactive service or sales opportunities
This type of tool helps bridge the gap between customer uncertainty and action, while positioning the business as knowledgeable and helpful.
It also creates a natural entry point for follow-up automation, reminders, and personalized offers based on user inputs.
