Description
Return in-kind share on a matched resource-unit basis.
Community projects combine participation counts, access assertions, funding bases and shared-resource policies. Local allocation or coverage arithmetic can organize those records, while equitable access, actual contribution value and valid funding rights require evidence and the applicable rules.
Return in-kind share on a matched resource-unit basis.
When to use this tool
Use Community Match Funding In Kind Share when checking one explicit community-project capacity, funding, access or scheduling convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter inKind, eligibleResources, inKindUnit, resourcesUnit. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read share, defined. Inspect defined before interpreting the associated values.
Return in-kind share on a matched resource-unit basis. Require nonnegative inKind <= eligibleResources and matching nonempty unit labels; share = inKind/resources when positive, otherwise zero with defined false.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| inKind | In Kind | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| eligibleResources | Eligible Resources | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| inKindUnit | Nonempty unit label that must equal resourcesUnit literally; no valuation verification. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| resourcesUnit | Resources Unit | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| share | Dimensionless numerator/denominator ratio under the explicit basis above. | Required. Finite number. |
| defined | Whether the stated denominator or information basis permits interpretation of the associated value; inspect before using a placeholder. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Identical labels do not establish a valid valuation, grant eligibility or comparable legal accounting basis.
- 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
Use actual project records, participant needs and governing funding/resource rules to assess practical adequacy, fairness and eligibility.
