Required care JSON [start,end] (minutes since Monday 00:00)
[[480,720],[780,1020]]
Caregiver availability JSON [ID,start,end] (same minutes)
[["A",480,660],["B",600,840],["A",900,1020]]
School coverage JSON [start,end] (same minutes)
[[660,780]]
Uncovered care intervals (minutes)
[[840,900]]
Overlapping coverage [start,end,simultaneous providers]
[[600,660,2],[660,720,2]]
Covered required minutes
420

Calculation method

Calculation method

Uncovered care intervals (minutes)

Subtract union of caregiver and school coverage from union of required intervals.

Overlapping coverage [start,end,simultaneous providers]

Sweep all clipped boundaries; report required segments with >1 covering interval.

Covered required minutes

Sum required segments with >=1 coverage provider.

Symbols and units
a
Required care JSON [start,end] (minutes since Monday 00:00)
b
Caregiver availability JSON [ID,start,end] (same minutes)
c
School coverage JSON [start,end] (same minutes)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Half-open weekly time intervals [start,end), coverage map only; availability is not a confirmed booking. Assumes any supplied caregiver/school interval fully covers the stated care requirement. Supported limits: 0<=start<end<=10080, integer minutes; <=1000 intervals; do not count duplicate same-person overlapping intervals twice (reject them).
