Sector fit calculator

Pick a sector and a number, or a name to total. The tool reads the sector table's cell, names the rank among the favoured numbers, and shows the whole grid with your row and column highlighted.

An 8 name in a restaurant or a 6 name in a school is advised against by the practitioner tables. The founder finds out after the signboard is printed.

How this calculator works

R-MATRIX Scores 96, 90, 84, 78 for the favoured order; 82, 76, 70, 64 for suitable with a condition; 55 for no statement; 48 for a partial caution; 15 for advised against.
R-BLOCKS Blocks apply to the whole sector; conditions apply to named sub-segments (8 against broking in finance, 8 and 4 against liquids in e-commerce, and so on).
R-ORDER Founder driver first, conductor second, name digit as a further layer; the sector mapping applies after the founder numbers.

Not what this tells you. Neutral is silence, not approval. A 55 says the tradition has not spoken about that number in that sector.

The reason

The 26 by 9 matrix scores each number in each sector from 15 to 96. 96 is the first-named number, 90 to 78 follow in the favoured order, 55 means the tradition makes no statement, and 15 is a block. Blocks are applied as blocks, never as a low score.

Where the schools disagree

Sources disagree whether the founder's number or the name's number decides sector fit. This site reads both and reports each.

Questions founders ask

Which number is best for my sector?

Open the sector page: the favoured order is printed with reasons, and this tool shows the score of any number in it.

Does the founder's number override the sector?

No. The founder is read first; the sector mapping is applied on top. A number can suit a founder and be wrong for the company name at the same time.

What does a condition mean?

The number is favoured for the sector but prohibited for a sub-segment, such as 8 for logistics except liquid cargo.
