}Limitations and assumptions
No holiday calendar is downloaded or legal deadline rule inferred. JavaScript can normalize some overflowing dates, so provide actual dates; differing date strings will not match the normalized result.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
