Court Response Date Calculator accuracy and testing
This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.
Formula source
- Estimated response due date = service or notice date + user-entered response period days + manual closure days when included, counted as calendar days or weekday-only business days, then optionally adjusted for weekends. Reminder date = estimated response due date - reminder buffer days.
