Description
Measure signed calendar days from a hypothesis date to an evidence date.
Venture calculations depend on funding scope, fee bases, repayment terms, equity conventions and reporting periods. A post-money investor fraction differs from a pre-money valuation ratio, while constant-burn runway is conditional on a positive burn assumption. Interview consent and reported hypothesis support remain source-record assertions rather than verified evidence.
Measure signed calendar days from a hypothesis date to an evidence date.
When to use this tool
Use Startup Hypothesis Evidence Date Gap when you already have hypothesisDate, evidenceDate and need to measure signed calendar days from a hypothesis date to an evidence date.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter hypothesisDate, evidenceDate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedCalendarDays. Use the output convention below.
Parse real UTC YYYY-MM-DD dates; return evidenceDate-hypothesisDate in calendar days.1

| hypothesisDate | Hypothesis Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| evidenceDate | Evidence Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| signedCalendarDays | Signed Calendar Days | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative gaps are retained. Chronology alone does not verify an observation, priority, evidence quality or hypothesis support.
- 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.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the actual cash-flow forecast, financing agreement, cap table and experiment records for a venture decision. Use the full vesting and funding terms and inspect evidence quality; one balance, status label or supplied fraction does not establish feasibility, ownership or customer demand.
