THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Conditional path membership is explicitly supplied; one pass through each included field. Times are observed task estimates, not a universal accessibility target.
Start with your inputs
Enter measured field-entry times (seconds), fields included in selected conditional path (0 or 1), navigation and submission time for path (seconds). Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Measured field-entry times (seconds) | 10,20,30,40 |
| Fields included in selected conditional path (0 or 1) | 1,1,0,1 |
| Navigation and submission time for path (seconds) | 15 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, included field count is 3. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Included field count | 3 |
| Field-entry workload (seconds) | 70 |
| Total path completion time (seconds) | 85 |
How this is calculated
Included field count
Count fields marked as included.
Field-entry workload (seconds)
Sum entry times only for fields on the selected path.
Total path completion time (seconds)
Add path navigation and submission time.
Symbols and units
- a
- Measured field-entry times (seconds)
- b
- Fields included in selected conditional path (0 or 1)
- c
- Navigation and submission time for path (seconds)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Conditional path membership is explicitly supplied; one pass through each included field. Times are observed task estimates, not a universal accessibility target.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Included field count; Field-entry workload (seconds); Total path completion time (seconds). The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Conditional path membership is explicitly supplied; one pass through each included field. Times are observed task estimates, not a universal accessibility target.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
Calculations on this page happen in your browser. The separate AI question finder sends its submitted conversation to OpenAI; these calculator fields are not sent. Favourites and recent tool names are stored locally. A shared link contains the inputs you choose to include.
