Statute Countdown 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 limitation deadline = event or accrual date + user-entered limitation years + additional months + additional days. Reminder date = estimated deadline - reminder buffer days. Countdown summary compares the deadline with the user-entered as-of date.
