It’s funny I never knew there was a name for this but it is definitely something I got in the habit of when studying engineering and I use it all the time by creating little spreadsheet models. You don’t have to be that accurate, but you can create models with somewhat reasonable values and then fiddle with the outcomes and it just tells you if something is even remotely possible or not.

Like hey I might be able to increase my revenue by 10% next month but I definitely can’t increase it by 1000%. It’s surprisingly powerful.
