Default FretBoard Radius Measurement

How do you measure fretboard radius when you find a guitar that fits your fingers perfectly? Is there a .pdf of radius templates that I could cutout and take with me to guitar shops?

It seems to me that radius and nut/bridge spacings all work together.

I'd like to hear thoughts and preferences on radius.

I'll probably get a set of these.

It' really tempting me to order a custom Emerald X20 woody. So I want to be able to accurately describe my optimum neck parameters.
