Could you build this?

Partial While an interactive UI comparing materials is simple, creating an accurate durability model citing ASTM/ISO standard degradation curves requires specialized materials science domain expertise and proprietary testing datasets.

What it would actually take: Requires a physical degradation engine based on empirical material testing datasets mapped to ASTM/ISO standards (abrasion, UV, staining resistance curves) combined with realistic aging shader rendering (WebGL/Three.js). The barrier is curating validated physical wear datasets and material science simulation models rather than the frontend UI.
