Compare two complete quotes by dividing each total cost by its whole-unit quantity, with a signed per-unit difference and no invented scale assumptions.
Reproduce one source-labelled electrical load schedule from connected volt-amperes and explicitly copied line multipliers—without choosing code factors or sizing a service, feeder, conductor or breaker.
Audit one documented protection-selection record from source-labelled current components, an explicit multiplier, an already selected device rating, and a documented conductor ampacity—without choosing a breaker or declaring compliance.
Calculate percentages in seven modes with visible formulas, strict input validation, signed percentage change, and symmetric percentage difference.
Audit voltage-drop arithmetic for one source-selected candidate conductor using documented impedance, path and units—without selecting AWG, ampacity, an allowable drop or code compliance.
Audit one documented series circuit path from source-labelled segment currents, lengths, path multipliers and effective impedances—without assuming copper, choosing wire size or applying a pass/fail threshold.
