Just a bunch of cages - easy, right? (Cracking The Cryptic)
This puzzle is on the slightly harder side overall but should be 'consistent' difficulty throughout, with no exceedingly difficult individual steps. There are some fun 'bounce' steps back and forth in the beginning, which disambiguate a few cages. Liberal use of the killer calculator in Sudokupad is probably a good idea. Enjoy!

I loved the interaction between the 10 and 11 cages in row 4, which is resolved by the 13 cage in box 6, it took me by surprise but the logic is solid. Then it got significantly harder after that.

Very nice! I prefer not to use the killer calculator, just for the challenge. Thank you

Some very satisfying collapses preceded by long grinds of whittling down cage options. A really delicate balance to this puzzle.

One hour later and complete! That calculator is much more efficient than excel or my head! Great puzzle, thanks!
--- Glad you enjoyed it, the calculator has been there since the beginning! Unfortunately, I've been using it as a crutch so now I probably can't even do any killer puzzles without it :-)

I very much enjoyed the use of a little math here and there in this puzzle. Thank you, HalfBakedLunatic!
