Obligation Deadline Extension Slack Tool

Description

Add it to originalDeadline and subtract completion for slack.

An obligation or disclosure timeline needs a common origin and an explicit rule for extensions or pauses. Numeric slack shows the supplied time budget without establishing whether an extension is authorized or a duty was met.

Add it to originalDeadline and subtract completion for slack.

When to use this tool

Use Obligation Deadline Extension Slack when you need a supplied deadline or disclosure-delay calculation.

How to use the tool and how it works

Enter originalDeadline, extension, completion. Use the units and conventions below.
Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
Read newDeadline, slack. Use the output convention below.

Require nonnegative extension. Add it to originalDeadline and subtract completion for slack.^[1]

extension	Extension	Required. Finite number; minimum 0.
completion	Completion	Required. Finite number.

Output field	Interpretation	Returned shape
newDeadline	New Deadline	Required. Finite number.
slack	Slack	Required. Finite number.

Limitations and assumptions

Times share a unit and origin; positive slack means completion before the extended deadline. The extension is supplied, not established as authorized or legally effective.
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

Verify the actual applicable duty, timing rule and source dates. Review authorization for pauses and extensions before treating an arithmetic deadline as binding.
