Yes, but this too could be refactored further, even to the point of
eliminating the entire screen altogether. There are amazing tools that
reduce screens of data points to a single distilled number in medical
diagnosis, risk management, asset allocation, credit card fraud, security
assessment, etc. It all depends on how far down you want to dig and whether
it makes economic sense to do so. In other words, somebody's outside box
could be inside someone else's. It's a matter of perspective.

(I'm not questioning your sensibility on this at all, just the use of
inside/outside the box terminology, which I'm allergic to.:-)
