Limitations and assumptions

Attendance is not checked against capacity, so values above 100% can be returned. Cohort composition, ticket mix and production costs are not assessed.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
