Supersymmetry is directly motivated by fine-tuning through the solution of the hierarchy problem and claims that it provides a natural candidate for dark matter. Recent counter claims that the MSSM requires significant fine-tuning, both for electroweak symmetry breaking and to get the observed relic density suggest low energy SUSY is not well motivated. I examine the relevance of applying fine-tuning arguments to effective theories and go on to consider constructive uses for fine-tuning measures in the LHC era - both for informing our understanding of underlying GUT scale physics and as a measure of the precision with which the LHC could determine a SUSY WIMP relic density.
