Future Code-Based Calculators
Before a code or table-driven calculator is published, it should identify:
- The standard, code edition, table, and jurisdiction it supports.
- Whether source data is public domain, licensed, permissioned, or independently derived.
- Every adjustment, correction, exception, and assumption implemented.
- The limitations that still require review by the authority having jurisdiction.
A user's physical location does not reliably determine the adopted code edition or local amendments. Jurisdiction must be confirmed explicitly.
Location Privacy
NodeAndVolt does not currently request device location. Your location, the site owner's location, and a default regional assumption are not embedded in calculator results.
If location assistance is introduced later, the design will follow these rules:
- No location prompt on page load.
- A clear user-initiated button explains why location is requested.
- Manual country, state/province, and jurisdiction selection remains available.
- Coordinates are reduced to the minimum useful regional result and are not retained by default.
- The user must still confirm the applicable jurisdiction and code edition.
Preferred Data Strategy
General physics
Use established equations and clearly defined units with transparent derivations.
Equipment data
Use clearly identified, authorized sources and keep product-specific values separate from general equations.
Standards data
Use authorized sources, document editions, and version datasets independently.
