Description
Require nonempty rankText and source and a bounded integer year, then format a year- and source-qualified rank label.
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.
Require nonempty rankText and source and a bounded integer year, then format a year- and source-qualified rank label.
When to use this tool
Use Historical Rank Source Label when you need a precise source-token or range consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter rankText, source, year. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty rankText and source and a bounded integer year, then format a year- and source-qualified rank label.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| rankText | Rank Text | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| source | Supplied source label; not independently verified. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| year | Year under the stated calendar and supported numeric bounds. | Required. Safe integer; minimum -100000; maximum 9999. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Formatted label for the supplied components under the convention above. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

"input": {
"rankText": "Recorded rank",
"source": "Register A",
"year": 1910
},
"output": {
"label": "Recorded rank [1910; Register A]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- This preserves a historical assertion without mapping rank equivalence, verifying authority, or establishing military status.
- 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
