Description
Calculate supplied adviser-visit calendar-day spacing.
Extension records distinguish participant groups, recognition credits, demonstration labels, communication intervals and source editions. A credited-hour product is a supplied recognition convention rather than assessed competence. Copy shortfalls and access-format labels do not establish actual distribution, usability or learning outcomes.
Calculate supplied adviser-visit calendar-day spacing.

How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousVisitDate, currentVisitDate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

Parse real UTC dates; return currentVisitDate-previousVisitDate days, preserving signs.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- No actual visit, scheduling, advice quality, participant needs or suitable visit interval is verified.
- 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.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use original session, participant, material, source and feedback records with the complete outreach evaluation. Check access and context before interpreting local counts or labels as effective advice or suitable educational support.
