I promised a simple warpage calculation formula, if not too many, I'll send offline...

A warpage criterion for components would have to be based on a total out-of-plane measurement at soldering temperatures. This non-coplanarity measure would have to be about the thickness of the solder paste layer to avoid solder opens, and it would have to be based on the total final solder joint thickness to avoid solder joint cracking due to warpage tensile loads on cooling from reflow.
