Methodology

PTO

We scan the year, treat your workdays and selected holidays as given, and rank windows by consecutive days off, then efficiency, then fewer PTO days, then nearer to today.

Sports

Start times are official. Viewing windows are estimates from a central config you can change. TBD, postponed, and cancelled games are not treated as firm start times.

College weekends

Load is scored from official events only: commencement or football plus another major event is high; a single home football or family weekend is moderate.

Event dates

Conflict level is a deterministic stack of holidays, official local games, verified campus events, and dates you add locally.

Paydays

Default is no employer shift. Weekend/holiday collisions are shown. Optional previous/next business-day rules are yours to choose.
