Useful workflows

• Check schedules, intervals or calendar labels before transferring them to another system.
• Compare UTC with a named local time zone instead of relying on an unexplained offset.
• Copy a result together with its date format and counting convention for later review.

Limits and important checks

• Exact instants depend on astronomical data, time zone and calculation precision.
• Ambiguous numeric dates such as 03/04/2026 should be entered with an unambiguous format.
• For legal, payroll, travel or financial deadlines, confirm the result against the responsible authority or system.
