I noticed while using the Assisted Design system for Gearbox design that it gives a much smaller variety of Gearbox costs than designing them manually would.
This is something you might expect normally, but in this case i think the difference is a bit too extreme.
My guess on whats going on behind the scenes would be that the assisted design system decides on the number of gears first then leaves it alone.
When you alter the cost slider it changes all of the sliders, but doesn't reduce the number of gears in order to reduce cost.
I believe it probably should as thats what i often do to dramatically reduce cost.
By not doing this, assisted design gearboxes tend to always be fairly expensive and more high end ones.
