# Statistics & Metrics

<details>

<summary>What metrics does laiout show?</summary>

laiout displays a comprehensive set of real-time metrics including: total area (GEA/NIA), area efficiency percentage, desk/workstation count, total occupancy capacity, density (sqm per person), room counts by type, area distribution by zone type (percentage and sqm), estimated fit-out cost breakdown (furniture, partitions, custom items), carbon/CO2 estimates, and a full bill of quantities. These metrics update live as you edit your layout.
