Description
Calculate supplied assessment-minus-evidence calendar-day gap.
Policy arithmetic depends on supplied rule editions, eligibility assertions, rate bases and accounting boundaries. A simple interest term does not select a legal rate, and passing recorded check flags does not establish program eligibility. Overspend and over-redemption can remain visible as signed discrepancies.
Calculate supplied assessment-minus-evidence calendar-day gap.
When to use this tool
Use Agri Environment Evidence Date Gap when you already have evidenceDate, assessmentDate and need to calculate supplied assessment-minus-evidence calendar-day gap.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter evidenceDate, assessmentDate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedCalendarDays. Use the output convention below.
Parse real UTC dates; return assessment-evidence days with signs preserved.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- No evidence quality, actual assessment, submission window, program eligibility or legal compliance is established.
- 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
Consult authoritative program rules and original budget, evidence and payment records. Apply the complete eligibility and legal process when local caps, date gaps or labels cannot determine an actual obligation or entitlement.
