Common questions
What does the App compute?
Summarize a keyboard walk: tab stops logged, illogical jumps, and a pass-or-fix verdict.
What does the App not do?
This App totals the counts you enter. It does not run automated tests, modify markup, or certify conformance.
Where do the numbers come from?
You enter every number yourself. The sources support the method and the limits. They do not produce a result for your specific case. Keep the original documents next to the sheet you build.

Gather the values the App asks for:
