## Methodology for approaching & evaluating solutions

Per the priority of constituencies, we should first look for solutions that users can trust (like if there is an affordance to convert units, it should be 100% reliable when present) and, second, solutions that are more dependable and robust for developers. In particular, we should look for and prefer [declarative approaches](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/webvision/full/#thedeclarativeweb) over imperative approaches.

as users will expect any unit conversions to be simple arithmetic.
Second, we should look for solutions that are minimal work, simpler, and more dependable and robust for developers.
