Description

Return occupied-slot coverage under a reserved-slot policy.

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 occupied-slot coverage under a reserved-slot policy.

When to use this tool

Use Participation Slot Coverage Share when checking one explicit community-project capacity, funding, access or scheduling convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter availableSlots, occupiedSlots, reservedUnavailable, excludeReserved. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read denominator, share, defined. Inspect defined before interpreting the associated values.

Return occupied-slot coverage under a reserved-slot policy. Require whole available >= reservedUnavailable >= 0 and occupied <= available-reserved; denominator subtracts reservations only when excludeReserved, share divides or returns zero with defined false.1

Input fieldMeaning and unitsAccepted input
availableSlotsAvailable SlotsRequired. Safe integer; minimum 0.
occupiedSlotsOccupied SlotsRequired. Safe integer; minimum 0.
reservedUnavailableReserved UnavailableRequired. Safe integer; minimum 0.
excludeReservedExclude ReservedRequired. Boolean.
Output fieldInterpretationReturned shape
denominatorDenominatorRequired. Safe integer.
shareDimensionless numerator/denominator ratio under the explicit basis above.Required. Finite number.
definedWhether the stated denominator or information basis permits interpretation of the associated value; inspect before using a placeholder.Required. Boolean.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Slot labels and counts are supplied; this does not establish equitable participation, actual attendance or accessible capacity.
  • 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.
