Limitations and assumptions

  • Age does not account for excluded business days, case pauses, statutory deadlines, or service quality.
  • 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.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Confirm the governing procedure, authoritative record, and any exceptions before relying on a procedural result.
