Math matters. How many digits are truly significant?
That's actually a 2" nut.

1) Overall nut width
2) E-to-E string spacing at the nut
3) Overall width of fingerboard at 12th fret
4) E-to-E spacing at the bridge
5) Scale length
6) Fingerboard radius
7) Some idea about back of neck profile (shape), thickness of neck, etc.
