Description

Multiply activeSessions by activeMinutes and comparatorSessions by comparatorMinutes; return both exposures and active minus comparator exposure.

Evidence bookkeeping records identifiers, reported methods, source editions, and supplied support flags. A complete-looking citation or matching record is different from evidence of a claim's validity.

Multiply activeSessions by activeMinutes and comparatorSessions by comparatorMinutes; return both exposures and active minus comparator exposure.

When to use this tool

Use Naturopathy Study Comparator Exposure Gap when you need a reproducible source or study-record consistency check.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter activeSessions, comparatorSessions, activeMinutes, comparatorMinutes. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read activeExposure, comparatorExposure, exposureGap. Use the output convention below.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Session counts are nonnegative integers and minutes nonnegative; this compares recorded contact time rather than treatment intensity or efficacy.
  • 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

Read the original report and compare methods, outcomes, provenance, and uncertainty before assessing an evidence claim.
