# Color Temperature Mired Shift Calculator implementation

A source-bound implementation contract for Color Temperature Mired Shift Calculator; deployment and executable qualification remain separate.

Status: **VERIFIED_CLEAN**Lifecycle: **implementation-contract**

## Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

**Record owner**: Guth Instruments

**Lifecycle**: verified-clean

**Evidence ID**: t7-050

**Effect**: Computation or source lookup only

## Input and validation requirements

The formula reaches an undefined division-by-zero result when the applied shift makes resulting mired equal zero. The specification also leaves the sign convention and manufacturer gel lookup data insufficiently defined, allowing materially different outputs or missing gel recommendations.

## Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

## Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
