Description
Separate home-visit kit item shortfall from surplus.
Midwifery records link contact identities, referrals, translated documents, equipment dates and user-preferred formats. A recorded receipt or listed format differs from actual service availability. Calendar margins and kit counts preserve supplied records without establishing readiness, appropriate response time or clinical need.

}Limitations and assumptions
- No item identity, condition, kit adequacy or readiness for clinical care is verified.
- 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
Review original contact, referral, equipment and education records when actual delivery or readiness matters. Preserve requested language and format preferences; the local count, date or membership check does not verify the broader care workflow.
