It would be a bit like using LiDAR and photogrammetry to measure lumber for furniture making. It's not that it wouldn't work, it's just that you can ask any builder and they'll tell you that it's easier to use a tape measure. But the problem isn't really eyeballing vs measuring. It's what's in stock. The economics of size availability is the problem. Think of a lumber yard that only keeps square lumber (1x1s, 2x2, 4x4s) in stock and tells customers they can laminate two 2x2s with wood glue to get a 2x4 or split a 4x4 in half. Yes, you can, but it would be great if the 2x4s we're kept in stock. Now multiply the problem across band and cup size. Sister sizes are a way to project a two-dimensional inventory problem into one dimension and that's the root of the issue. It's not unlike the average cockpit problem[1], but applied to bras. The first person to make an adjustable cup size bra that's comfortable and fashionable will make a fortune. 1. https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-force-discovered-the-flaw-of-averages.html https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-...
