Questions
Frequently asked questions

A person can receive more than one chore in the same block as the lists cycle independently.
Which Weeks to preview occurrences in the household chore rotation calendar deserve a boundary review?
Inspect the first and last Household Chore Rotation Calendar entries plus any date near a weekend, month end, or listed exclusion. Those positions expose most recurrence-boundary mistakes.
Which inputs make a household chore rotation calendar result reproducible?
Another reviewer needs Rotation starts and People and Chores, Days per assignment, and Weeks to preview to recreate the Household Chore Rotation Calendar. Store those values with their units and generation date.
What event should trigger another household chore rotation calendar calculation?
Reconsider the Household Chore Rotation Calendar when Weeks to preview no longer matches the source used for Rotation starts. A new calculation keeps the cases separate.
