Description
Divide for attendanceFraction and subtract for nonattendingEligible.
Policy indicators relate supplied targets, dates, categories, and measured quantities. A computed gap or formatted label can describe a record without establishing policy effectiveness or a causal explanation.
Divide for attendanceFraction and subtract for nonattendingEligible.
When to use this tool
Use Dialogue Session Attendance Denominator when you need one policy-monitoring component with the numerator, denominator, and time basis made explicit.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter attendees, invitedEligible. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read attendanceFraction, nonattendingEligible. Use the output convention below.
Require positive invitedEligible and attendees from zero through that count. Divide for attendanceFraction and subtract for nonattendingEligible.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| invitedEligible | Invited Eligible | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| attendanceFraction | Attendance Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| nonattendingEligible | Nonattending Eligible | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Attendance and eligibility are supplied; consent, representativeness, event quality, and dialogue outcomes are not established.
- 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 the source data, full policy definition, and relevant evaluation method before interpreting the indicator.
