The methods in this app are the ones used in clinical audit, service evaluation and research: comparing groups, adjusting for case mix, following patients over time, and monitoring outcomes. The recurring problem is not arithmetic — software has done that reliably for decades — but choosing an appropriate method and reading the result honestly. That is why the guidance is deterministic rather than generated, why every method is checked against an independent implementation, and why the app declines to run analyses it cannot do properly instead of substituting something close.
