Mathematical Rigor & Formula Identities

Strict PRD Mathematical Conformance

Exact formula reciprocal invariants verified via Vitest:
• $\text{Min} = \text{Mid} / (1 + \text{Spread} / 2)$
• $\text{Max} = \text{Min} \times (1 + \text{Spread})$
• $\text{Green Circle Budget} = \sum_{\text{Base} < \text{Min}} (\text{Min} - \text{Base})$

Incumbent Circle Impact Summary

Real-Time Equity Gap Auditing

Instantly flags underpaid incumbents below range minimum (Green Circle) and overpaid incumbents exceeding range maximum (Red Circle), quantifying the exact dollar budget required to restore internal equity.
