Description

Compare supplied reviewer identities and prohibited role overlap.

Quality records separate measured results, reference values, acceptance rules, and supporting evidence. Arithmetic consistency and record coverage can be checked against supplied criteria without establishing traceability, approving a method, or deciding product conformity.

Compare supplied reviewer identities and prohibited role overlap.

When to use this tool

Use it for qa reviewer independence role pair when the required inputs and conventions are already available.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter authorIds, reviewerIds, prohibitedSharedRoles, authorRoles, reviewerRoles. Keep parallel arrays aligned and use the stated units and conventions.
  2. Run the calculation. Correct any input error before interpreting a result.
  3. Read sharedPeople, sharedProhibitedRoles, independentUnderRule. Inspect any known, defined, inclusion, or boundary flags before interpreting numeric values.

Find distinct person identifiers shared by authors and reviewers and distinct shared role labels that also appear in prohibitedSharedRoles. Set independentUnderRule only when both lists are empty.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • People and roles are compared as separate exact-label sets, not person-role assignments. No organizational relationship, financial conflict, or broader reviewer independence is investigated.
  • The field tables describe structural bounds; the mechanics also state cross-field requirements. Malformed input shapes, disallowed keys, and invalid domains cause input errors. Results must remain finite and within the declared output contract. A successful false flag or zero placeholder is distinct from an error.
  • Numeric arithmetic uses binary floating point. Exact comparisons have no hidden tolerance or decimal rounding; negative zero is exported as zero. Decimal-text integer operations retain the exactness specifically stated above.

Alternative or Complementary methods

For qa reviewer independence role pair, check the source records and the supplied rule before comparing the result with another method. Use a separate evidence or method review when arithmetic consistency alone cannot establish the required conclusion.
