Description
Return committed minus delivered as deliveryGap and delivered/committed as deliveredShare.
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.
Return committed minus delivered as deliveryGap and delivered/committed as deliveredShare.
When to use this tool
Use Peace Building Commitment Delivery Delta 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 committedAmount, deliveredAmount. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read deliveryGap, deliveredShare. Use the output convention below.
Require positive committedAmount and nonnegative deliveredAmount. Return committed minus delivered as deliveryGap and delivered/committed as deliveredShare.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| committedAmount | Committed Amount | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| deliveredAmount | Delivered Amount | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| deliveryGap | Delivery Gap | Required. Finite number. |
| deliveredShare | Delivered Share | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Overdelivery produces a negative gap and share above one; units and scope must match and actual impact or accountability is not assessed.
- 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.
