# Function: contractCostHints()

```ts
function contractCostHints(checks): string[];
```

Defined in: [packages/core/src/records/contracts.ts:351](https://github.com/leifriksheim/minca/blob/main/core/src/records/contracts.ts#L351)

Advice on a collection's checks, for whoever writes them: patterns whose
cost grows fast with the records they read, so a check that passes on
small records may run out of steps or work on large ones. Not protocol:
a verdict never depends on it.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| ------ | ------ |
| `checks` | readonly [`Contract`](https://minca.dev/api/core/interfaces/Contract.md)[] |

## Returns

`string`[]
