Description
Measure signed calendar delay between an authority question and response.
Regulatory records tie submissions, source versions, jurisdictions, certificates and deadline wording together. Recorded approval and certificate scope are assertions that need the authoritative record and applicable rules. A calendar margin or supplied exchange factor can support bookkeeping without determining a lawful deadline, actual authorization or fee obligation.
Measure signed calendar delay between an authority question and response.
When to use this tool
Use Authority Question Response Delay when you already have questionDate, responseDate and need to measure signed calendar delay between an authority question and response.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter questionDate, responseDate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read signedCalendarDays. Use the output convention below.
Parse real YYYY-MM-DD dates at UTC midnight; return responseDate-questionDate in days.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| questionDate | Question Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |
| responseDate | Response Date | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Real proleptic Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; four-digit years 0000-9999 accepted. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Earlier responses give negative gaps; no timeliness requirement, submission acceptance or valid response is verified.
- 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
Consult the authoritative submission, certificate, fee schedule and applicable deadline rules for an actual obligation or status. Reconcile controlled document versions and jurisdiction before using one label, date gap or exchange-factor product in a filing workflow.
