THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Dates use an explicitly chosen common day zero; supplied contractual periods are added as elapsed days. Business-day, timezone and legal interpretation are outside this worksheet.
Start with your inputs
Enter approval dates (days from project origin), embargo durations after approval (days), final dependency clearance (day from origin). Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Approval dates (days from project origin) | 10,20 |
| Embargo durations after approval (days) | 30,15 |
| Final dependency clearance (day from origin) | 45 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, embargo expiry days is 40, 35. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Embargo expiry days | 40, 35 |
| Earliest release day | 45 |
| Governing restriction | Dependency clearance |
How this is calculated
Embargo expiry days
Add each supplied embargo duration to its approval day.
Earliest release day
Take the latest expiry and dependency-clearance day.
Governing restriction
Identify whether dependency clearance or an embargo sets the release day.
Symbols and units
- a
- Approval dates (days from project origin)
- b
- Embargo durations after approval (days)
- c
- Final dependency clearance (day from origin)
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
Dates use an explicitly chosen common day zero; supplied contractual periods are added as elapsed days. Business-day, timezone and legal interpretation are outside this worksheet.
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?
Embargo expiry days; Earliest release day; Governing restriction. 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: Dates use an explicitly chosen common day zero; supplied contractual periods are added as elapsed days. Business-day, timezone and legal interpretation are outside this worksheet.
