Limitations and assumptions

  • Repository policies, format profiles, equipment capabilities, and descriptive standards vary. Preserve the source value and record the rule version instead of treating this utility as an authority-record or preservation-system validator.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Complement the calculation with format validation, fixity checks, provenance records, and human review. For policy decisions, apply the profile adopted by the repository rather than an undocumented local convention.
