 # Introduction {#mainpage}
-Welcome to the _cost\_estimation_ module in UNICADO – where we take your aircraft operating costs from “hmm… probably a lot?” to laser-accurate precision! This tool is like a financial :crystal_ball for your aircraft, crunching numbers on fuel, maintenance, crew costs, and just about (almost) every other expense you can imagine. Think of it as your budgeting co-pilot, always ready to calculate so you can focus on the skies instead of spreadsheets. With _cost\_estimation_, you stay in control, keep the accountants happy, and land at your bottom line without any turbulence. So buckle up, and let’s start calculating!

 ## A user's guide to cost calculation
 The _cost\_estimation_ tool is your key to accurately calculating the operating costs of an aircraft. In this user documentation, you’ll find all the information you need to understand the tool, as well as the necessary inputs and configurations to run a cost analysis from the ground up.
 The following sections will walk you through the cost estimation process in UNICADO:
+
 - [Getting started](getting_started.md)
 - [Run your first cost estimation](run_your_first_cost_estimation.md)
 
 For a comprehensive understanding of the tool’s functionality, the documentation is structured into two distinct sections:
+
 - A [method description](operating_cost_method.md) and
 - a [software architecture](software_architecture.md)
 section.
