C100: Tool to help with Custom Picture profiles?

I suspect not, but is there a tool available to help create CP profiles? A simple app that simulates the effect of diffierent adjustments on an example image, then produces a file to load into the camera?

I come from a Log background and got a C100/2 partly to speed up projects. I could probably get close to the final image I'd like in camera, but some of the CP fine adjustments aren't well explained in the manual and it would take a lifetime of trial/error to explore what they do to the image.
 
I've never seen anything as specific as that. Even if it did exist, it would need to play well with your NLE (or are you thinking standalone $$$?) and it would require a calibrated monitor attached to the host running that app.. My time spent T&Eing the WDR profile was about 3 hrs.. That 3 hrs. spent has saved hundreds I would have spent tuning LUTs in post. Many explanatory threads in this sub forum on the subject if you like to read. I don't, so I experiment on my own until I have a notebook full of cause/effect instructions.
 
Thanks. I was thinking of something that approximates, rather than needing a calibrated workflow. We could even have something like their menu simulator, just to watch the impact on an example image.

I guess I work differently and find the LUT workflow much quicker, but would like to experiment with CPs. I'll do some searching.
