## Impact Summary

### Current System (Before Fixes)
```
Slippage Estimates:  2-5x off actual value
Profit Thresholds:   Rejects valid opportunities < 1 wei
Margin Calculations: Rejects >100% returns (mathematically valid)
Price Impact:        Underestimated by 0.3-2%
Gas Costs:          Overestimated by 20%
Risk Assessment:    Unreliable
```

### After Fixes
```
Slippage Estimates:  Accurate to actual AMM behavior
Profit Thresholds:   Accepts all valid profits
Margin Calculations: Accepts all valid margins
Price Impact:        Accurate within 0.1%
Gas Costs:          Dynamic, network-aware
Risk Assessment:    Trustworthy
```

## Implementation Roadmap

### Phase 1: Critical Fixes (Immediate)
1. [ ] Fix slippage formula
2. [ ] Fix profit threshold comparison  
3. [ ] Remove 100% margin cap
4. [ ] Fix price impact fee calculation
5. [ ] Add division-by-zero checks

**Target**: This week  
**Testing**: Comprehensive test suite  
**Validation**: Against known Arbitrum DEX values

### Phase 2: High Priority Fixes (Short-term)
6. [ ] Implement dynamic gas calculation
7. [ ] Add proper rounding strategy
8. [ ] Add overflow detection

**Target**: Next 2 weeks  
**Testing**: Edge case coverage  
**Validation**: Load testing and stress testing

### Phase 3: Medium Priority Fixes (Medium-term)
9. [ ] Fix V3 price precision
10. [ ] Strengthen negative value handling
11. [ ] DEX-specific slippage models

**Target**: Next month  
**Testing**: Full integration testing  
**Validation**: Production monitoring
