Methodology for creating 3bet defence ranges?

It came to my attention recently that whan i slip into B/C game poker i call 3bets FAR too light, both in position and OOP.

As a result, I am going to use some study time to play with ranges and see what a "good" calling strategy looks like. I feel like having this kind of knowledge will help me develop a better thought process when in the middle of a session.

I'm not asking anybody to give me the answers (as if there is such a thing), but I thought I'd ask people what the best methodology was?

This is my idea so far:

Using Flopzilla, create a pre flop raise range (my standard open is 3x at 25NL) and assuming the average 3bet is to 10bb calculate the min defence frequency; which is usually around 1/3rd of my opening range.

I'll then select the appropriate number of combos to defend by 4bet (and balance with bluffs), then use the rest of the combos to fill out a calling range.

With the calling range, I'll then create a number of random flops in flopzilla, and try to spot textures where my defending frequency will be too low, if this happens regularly and in comon scenerios, I'll tweak the range then rinse & repeat.

Does this sound ok?
