Transparent calculations

Calculation methodology

Understand what the tool calculates, what it estimates and when it deliberately avoids false precision.

Character ages

Real-date ages use calendar dates. Story Year ages use the project’s configured days per year and planning days per month. Year-only dates produce an approximate range.

Relative events

Time jumps are converted to positions relative to the project timeline. The published fiction does not need a real-world anchor year.

Pregnancy planning

Default estimates use approximately 266 days from conception to expected due date. The workspace treats this as a planning estimate and allows intentional exceptions.

Warnings are advisory

A warning means that entered records may conflict. It does not declare a fictional situation impossible or replace the author’s judgment.
