Description
Return processing+waiting-excluded and retained wait/countable total.
Administrative workflow summaries depend on capacity, counted waiting, uncertain time envelopes, priority policies and delegated or retention intervals. A local predicate or deadline arithmetic does not establish a lawful fee, signature, retention decision or fair service priority. Boundary and denominator policies must be explicit.
Return processing+waiting-excluded and retained wait/countable total.
When to use this tool
Use Approval Step Wait Share when checking the stated administrative count, timing, priority or policy-boundary convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter processingTime, waitingTime, excludedWait. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read countedTotal, waitShare. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative processing/waiting and excludedWait within waiting, with positive counted total. Return processing+waiting-excluded and retained wait/countable total.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Exclusion affects numerator and denominator; no actual excluded-time policy, labor rule or service standard is selected.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review verified records and the governing organizational/legal requirements with responsible professionals for actual service, authority or retention decisions.
