Description
Calculate qc sample reserve consumed balance from explicit caller-supplied inputs.
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.
Calculate qc sample reserve consumed balance from explicit caller-supplied inputs.
When to use this tool
Use it for qc sample reserve consumed balance when the required inputs and conventions are already available.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter received, tested, reserved, discarded, evaporation. Use the stated units and boundary conventions.
- Run the calculation. Correct any input error before interpreting a result.
- Read remaining, unreserved, consumedFraction. Inspect any known, defined, inclusion, or boundary flags before interpreting numeric values.
Require positive received amount, nonnegative tested, reserved, discarded, and evaporation, with tested+discarded+evaporation no greater than received. Return remaining after those consumptions, unreserved=remaining-reserved, and consumedFraction.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| received | Received | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| tested | Tested | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| reserved | Reserved | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| discarded | Discarded | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| evaporation | Evaporation | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| remaining | Remaining | Required. Finite number. |
| unreserved | Unreserved | Required. Finite number. |
| consumedFraction | Consumed Fraction | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Reserved may exceed remaining, producing negative unreserved rather than an input error. Use mutually exclusive consumption amounts in one unit; reservation is not counted as consumption.
- 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 qc sample reserve consumed balance, 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.
