Review notes

Failure categories can overlap. Treat this as a batch readiness summary, not automated image inspection.

Methods note

QC pass percent equals images without entered failure flags divided by total images.

Scope and limitations

For materials research, education, and protocol documentation only. Not a certified inspection, compliance, asset-integrity, or final acceptance tool.

Results are deterministic calculations from the values entered here. Review units, assumptions, and measurement quality before using outputs in reports or protocols.

Method

Uses the tool-specific formulas and assumptions shown in the calculator output.

Validated
