Description
Return rawOverlap, validOverlap=rawOverlap-excludedOverlap, and shareOfFirst=validOverlap/(firstEnd-firstStart).
A production plan combines stage geometry, cue times, movement distances, material dimensions, and explicit scheduling or accounting rules. Signed margins reveal surplus or deficit under the chosen model. Physical clearances, execution variability, and governing requirements can require checks beyond one arithmetic term.
Return rawOverlap, validOverlap=rawOverlap-excludedOverlap, and shareOfFirst=validOverlap/(firstEnd-firstStart).
When to use this tool
Use Cue Overlap Valid Time Share when you need this specific stage, cue, material, timing, count, or fee term under supplied production assumptions.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter firstStart, firstEnd, secondStart, secondEnd, excludedOverlap. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read rawOverlap, validOverlap, shareOfFirst. Use the output convention below.
Require a positive first interval, nonnegative-length second interval, and excludedOverlap within their raw overlap. Return rawOverlap, validOverlap=rawOverlap-excludedOverlap, and shareOfFirst=validOverlap/(firstEnd-firstStart).1

| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| rawOverlap | Raw Overlap | Required. Finite number. |
| validOverlap | Valid Overlap | Required. Finite number. |
| shareOfFirst | Share Of First | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Intervals use one time unit and origin and exclusions are supplied durations. Overlap describes scheduling arithmetic, not verification of cue compatibility, available staffing, or safe simultaneous actions.
- 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. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a complete production schedule or equipment/layout assessment when one margin is insufficient. Check units, timing conventions, tolerances, and physical constraints before combining terms.
