The cost to serve tool in FOND Planner provides insights into CapEx distribution across a network plan by using three costing methods: individual cost, shared cost, and accumulated cost. The individual cost highlights expenses for equipment serving a single address, while the accumulated cost includes all upstream costs necessary to serve an address. Visually represented like a heat map, this tool helps users assess financial feasibility and prioritize addresses based on cost implications, supporting strategic decision-making.
