 ===Putting it all together: problem solving===
+Largely a worked example.
+Problem: I used to be a T2 industrialist. One of a T2 industrialist's worst nightmares is putting together a shopping list. T2 invention is inherently chance-based, so you never know how many of what types of product you'll need to order reagents for in advance. With the large variety of T2 item types and T2 reagent types, putting together a spreadsheet would be largely impractical and inflexible. We would like a program that takes designated T2 item types and quantities of each type and outputs a full shopping list. Extra features, like price calculation and subtracting off items I already have, would be nice too. To make this example simpler, I'll make certain assumptions about my supply chain locations and purchasing decisions: I'll assume I'm purchasing everything from Jita 4-4 and storing reagents in my personal hangar in [insert station in convenient 0.5 system here].
