Compatibility math

Build role

gear value = risk reduced + maintenance made easier + build fit

Example: IceCap ATO EZ Automatic Top-Off System belongs in the plan only if it solves a real stability or maintenance job.

ReefCrafter keeps optional upgrades behind core stability requirements.

Risk notes

Manual top-off works until a busy week turns evaporation into a salinity spike.
