Transparency by design

Methodology & Sources Centre

Transparent assumptions, formulas, limitations, privacy rules and version history for the free tools on ragunauthramsaroop.com.

Methodological principles

1. Inputs stay visible.

Numeric assumptions are editable rather than hidden behind a proprietary score.

2. Screening is labelled as screening.

Self-assessments and calculators do not claim certification, compliance, legal advice or investment-grade engineering.

3. Privacy is bounded.

Browser-side tools do not send visitor-entered tool text or values as analytics parameters.

4. Evidence beats decoration.

Results should be validated against current data, applicable law, recognised standards and qualified professional review where required.

Reference standards used as starting points
