Nuts — how much does it change the cost?

One ingredient at 18% inclusion and eight times the price of oats. Move nut content five points and your whole cost moves.

Baking is slow — how much does it change the cost?

Oven time, not mixing, sets the tolling rate. A long low bake is a better product and a more expensive one.

Allergens constrain your slot — how much does it change the cost?

Nut-containing product needs a full clean after, which some sites price into the run and others schedule around.

A cost you worked out once is already out of date.

Supplier prices move, co-packers raise rates, and runs yield worse than planned. NextBatch derives cost per unit instead of storing it, so it moves on its own.
