Description
Check a supplied consultancy fee against a half-open bracket.
Ethical records distinguish assumptions, permissions, role assignments, reported conflicts and source-qualified claims. A supplied truth flag can be negated mechanically without evaluating a rule, while a disclosure marker does not prove an acceptable practice. Ethical interpretation depends on evidence, context and the affected people.
Check a supplied consultancy fee against a half-open bracket.
When to use this tool
Use Disclosure Consultancy Fee Bracket when you already have feeAmount, lowerInclusive, upperExclusive and need to check a supplied consultancy fee against a half-open bracket.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter feeAmount, lowerInclusive, upperExclusive. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read withinBracket. Inspect withinBracket before interpreting the associated values.
Require fee/lower>=0 and upper>lower; return lower<=fee<upper.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| feeAmount | Fee Amount | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| lowerInclusive | Lower Inclusive | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| upperExclusive | Upper Exclusive | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| withinBracket | Within Bracket | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The upper endpoint is excluded. Currency and bracket policy are supplied; no actual disclosure, financial interest, conflict threshold or legal requirement is determined.
- 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
Read the underlying case, source, policy and consent records. Assess duties, authority, affected interests and actual circumstances through the appropriate professional process; local tokens and boolean checks do not resolve an ethical or legal question.
