We put Goodwillie's calculus of functors and Weiss' orthogonal calculus in a unified framework. We do so in two ways. On the one hand, the relevant categories are all symmetric monoidal and controlled by their compact objects. We introduce the notion of tidy map as a means to generate symmetric monoidal localizations in this setting. These localizations are always left exact. Then we show that both the Goodwillie and Weiss towers are generated by such maps. On the other hand, the relevant categories are also topoi, for which there is a general theory of completion towers of left exact localizations. We had shown in a previous work that the Goodwillie tower is an instance a such a tower. We show here that the Weiss tower is a completion tower as well, and therefore that the general theory applies to orthogonal calculus.
