There is common sense and experience. Calculating correct overpull in the center of the piano (around A4) by the simple formula of approximate beats flat (or sharp) times somewhere in the range of 30% as a factor to over pull, and being aware of the bridge break to the bass where the overpull is less, I am generally able to pull up a piano to right around A440 in about 20 to 25 minutes, and to then give the piano a generally "decent" tuning in the remainder of my time at the piano. This is true whether the piano is 8 cents flat or 100 cents. I make no great claim to the perfection of the subsequent tuning or its stability, and I make that known to my client. I arrange to return within a couple of months if necessary to do a more stable and "finer" tuning, and, I hope, to see the client on a more regular basis. There is no magic to this.
