Description
Classify responseCode as missing, recognized, or unknown-code by exact equality and membership.
Source-scoped cultural and historical records preserve an edition, naming convention, or local identifier. Literal agreement is useful bookkeeping but does not establish interpretation, authenticity, or authority.
Classify responseCode as missing, recognized, or unknown-code by exact equality and membership.
When to use this tool
Use Cultural Survey Response Code when you need a precise source-token or range consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter responseCode, allowedCodes, missingCode. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Missing is a distinct supplied code, not automatically blank or false; no cultural identity, response meaning, normalization, or imputation is inferred.
- 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.
