Efflorescence Risk Checker

Audit independently measured salt/moisture evidence against explicit caller study bands, missing evidence reported; not quantified future risk or remediation. Unknown criterion indices distinguish zero placeholders from known zero margins. Caller independently establishes units, regime, calibration and applicability; this does not establish design-code compliance, authenticity, operational safety, treatment efficacy or a validated forecast.

Description

Efflorescence assessment depends on independently measured salt and moisture conditions.

Efflorescence assessment depends on independently measured salt and moisture conditions.^[1]

Comparing observations with caller bands does not predict a universal probability of deposits. Use Efflorescence Risk Checker to compare known observations with supplied bands.

When to use Efflorescence Risk Checker

Use Efflorescence Risk Checker to compare known observations with supplied bands. Choose independently established criterion bands in consistent units and mark unassessed observations with known flag 0.

How to use Efflorescence Risk Checker and understand its results

Choose independently established criterion bands in consistent units and mark unassessed observations with known flag 0.
Enter Observed efflorescence observed salt moisture, Caller verified efflorescence observed salt moisture lower, Caller verified efflorescence observed salt moisture upper, Known efflorescence observed salt moisture criterion flags using the field table and validation rules below, then run the tool.
Read Signed known band margins, Known review indices, Unknown criterion indices; interpret the units, signs, ordering and unknown-value placeholders described below.
Correct reported input errors and rerun. Apply successful results according to their specific meanings and check the assumptions before using them in a decision.

Input field	Meaning	Value type	Requirement
observedEfflorescenceObservedSaltMoisture	Observed efflorescence observed salt moisture	array of number	Required; constraints below
callerVerifiedEfflorescenceObservedSaltMoistureLower	Caller verified efflorescence observed salt moisture lower	array of number	Required; constraints below
callerVerifiedEfflorescenceObservedSaltMoistureUpper	Caller verified efflorescence observed salt moisture upper	array of number	Required; constraints below
knownEfflorescenceObservedSaltMoistureCriterionFlags	Known efflorescence observed salt moisture criterion flags	array of number	Required; constraints below

Provide aligned nonempty arrays of observations, lower limits, upper limits and known flags. All numbers must be finite, each lower limit must not exceed its upper limit, and flags must be 0 or 1. Known criteria receive min(observation−lower, upper−observation); a negative margin requests review, while equality is inside the band. Unknown criteria receive a zero placeholder and are listed separately. Review and unknown indices are zero based and retain input order. Limits and their applicable units come from the caller, rather than an installed assessment scale.

known margin = min(observation−lower, upper−observation); unknown margin = 0 placeholder

Use the field order, units and branch conditions described above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
signedKnownBandMargins	Distance to the nearer band edge for known criteria; negative is outside; unknown entries use zero placeholders.	array of number
knownReviewIndices	Zero-based known-criterion indices strictly outside inclusive bands.	array
unknownCriterionIndices	Zero-based indices marked unknown; associated zero margins are placeholders.	array of number

Limitations and assumptions

Comparing observations with caller bands does not predict a universal probability of deposits. Apply the exact scope and assumptions explained above.

All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse arrays fail validation. Domain-specific bounds, alignments and supported tokens are explained above; extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. Input errors differ from successful false results, empty match lists and unknown-evidence placeholders.
