For example, have you tried doing Inner Quiet + Comfort Zone + Steady Hand II + Hasty Touch spam + Byregot's Brow/Miracle? It's relatively efficient and CP-cheap until you unlock Prudent Touch at 66, at which point you marry Prudent Touch and live happily ever after.

Let's see, I usually do Waste Not, Steady Hand, Inner Quiet (and Advanced Touch if a good or excellent pops), then enough synths to bring progress within one careful synth II of complete, Then I go on with the touches, and try to fit in a Byregot's Blessing before the CP is gone.
If I have a 70 or 80 durability, I'll usually refresh SH with Steady Hand II so I can continue with Hasty Touch after the CP is gone.
(I most always run out of CP before durability.)
(I don't have Comfort Zone yet, my alch is only 36, but I'm leveling it in beast tribes now.)

I've tried the crafting simulator, on a level 58 recipe, it gave me about 18% max. On a level 54 (beet soup), 0% start quality, it got 100% in 17 steps, (I've never had anything take that many steps.) I need to make the soup for the next class quest, so I'll try it once I get the materials.

Edit: Tried the crafting simulator, with half HQ materials. Ran out of CP at around 20% each time, even though the sim said I should have 100% at the end. (Made it about 1/2 through the sequence) Tried several times, and finally got one to go HQ at 21%
One big problem with the simulator is that it completely ignores condition events.
