# Latency / Buffer Size Calculator implementation

A source-bound implementation contract for Latency / Buffer Size 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**: t4-025

**Effect**: Computation or source lookup only

## Input and validation requirements

A sample rate of zero causes an undefined division and must be rejected. Additionally, the specification provides no numeric I/O overhead estimate, so exact total latency is underdetermined unless the implementation documents or supplies H; the outputs above therefore include the computable base latency and express the total as base plus H.

## 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.
