CVP verified calculation capability

Percent error Calculation Capability

Laboratory percent error |O − T|/|T|×100% (signed opt-in) with reverse solve for O or T.

Math Capability ID math.percent_error version 1.1.4 CVP VERIFIED CURRENT Engineering

Model

Percent error (lab convention)

Percent error (lab convention): % error = |O − T| / |T| × 100% [2][4]
Measurement error: ε = O − T [1]
Absolute error: |ε| = |O − T| [1][4]
Relative error: relative = |O − T| / |T| [3]
Signed (optional): % error = (O − T) / T × 100% [4]

Solve: solve_for = p | o | t

Trusted Math contract

Inspectable numeric contract for this Capability@Version. Not a rewrite of the engine.

Field	Declaration
`numeric_domain`	real
`exactness`	float64
`algorithm`	\|experimental − accepted\| / \|accepted\| × 100
`valid_domain`	finite reals; accepted ≠ 0
`singularity_policy`	DIVISION_BY_ZERO when accepted = 0
`branch_policy`	not applicable — real principal value only
`tolerance`	not applicable — closed form; capability Evidence owns comparison, no global default
`convergence`	not applicable — non-iterative
`conditioning`	not applicable — not a matrix κ product
`rounding`	ieee754_round_ties_to_even
`overflow`	ieee754_nonfinite_or_coded_error
`reproducibility`	deterministic algorithm + Capability@Version
`independent_oracle`	cvp percent-error oracle / Evidence published cases
`golden_vectors`	Evidence golden + boundary + property (and published_reference_case when listed)

Assumptions / Validity

Declared scope for this capability. Do not use it outside this domain.

Assumptions

Interactive evaluation runs locally in the browser. Shared URLs and REST may evaluate the same versioned engine on the server (query SSR).
Accepted value T ≠ 0.
Default formula uses absolute value so % error ≥ 0.
Exactly two fields are inputs. Explicit solve_for selects the output. If all three are supplied without solve_for, they are checked for consistency rather than overwritten.

Example

One numerical check. The calculator page holds worked steps and FAQ.

|101.5 − 100| / 100 × 100% = 1.5%

Call this capability

Human page, REST, and MCP share the same engine and calculation_version. Build verified hashes workspace artifacts only. After deploy, attest:production GETs canonical URLs twice — the public/cached view an Agent actually hits, and origin — including every /capabilities/{id} HTML page. Public Capability HTML version must match catalog before production attestation passes. Live Trust rows above fetch /.well-known/calculatorx-production-attestation.json and the output schema const. Build hashes: release integrity. That proves currently published page / engine / schema / evidence / MCP agree — not that a historical version is independently immutable. Reference Calculation Standard — Production surface contract 5/5.
