A fabricator that knows its limits quotes them in numbers. That is the practical meaning of experience.

Minimum trace, aspect ratio, board size and finishes are known and repeatable, so the quotation matches what the line can build.
The same build should behave the same way on the next order. That requires documented process control, not only skill on the floor.
Experience shows up as a question before tooling: a stackup that will not hold impedance, a panel that will not fit the press, a finish that is not available in the window.
Ask a specific question: minimum trace at 2 oz copper, maximum aspect ratio, which finishes run in-house. A fabricator that answers with numbers and process steps has the experience; one that answers with adjectives does not.
It changes what is quoted and what is flagged. An experienced fabricator raises the stackup or aspect-ratio risk before tooling, rather than discovering it at first article.
