## When to use it

Use this when a New Zealand decision turns on payroll, GST, tax dates, funding, regional conditions, workplace safety, electricity costs or Māori engagement. The calculators give bounded estimates and say what they leave out.

## How it works

1. **Clarify the decision** Identify the region, business activity and the decision that could change the recommendation.
2. **Choose the right check** Use a calculator for payroll, GST or provisional tax, or dated evidence for funding, conditions, safety and energy questions.
3. **Separate fact from interpretation** Label evidence, assumptions and analysis separately and say what is missing or undated.
4. **Lead with the next step** Give the amount, date or action you asked for, then the assumption that could change it and who to check with.
