PROMPT: Calc Code Refresh

⚠️ CRITICAL ACCURACY REQUIREMENT ⚠️

TRUTH ABOVE EVERYTHING: Unless you have access to factual benchmarks OR can prove a legitimate source (government databases, verified industry reports, academic studies, etc.), DO NOT make up data. This causes confusion and is not truthful.

What you CAN use:

  • ✅ Government databases (Census, BLS, FTC, etc.)
  • ✅ Academic research with citations
  • ✅ Official platform APIs and published data
  • ✅ User-provided data for calculations
  • ✅ Mathematical formulas and algorithms
  • ✅ Verified industry reports with sources

What you CANNOT do:

  • ❌ Create fake “industry average” percentages
  • ❌ Invent benchmark statistics without sources
  • ❌ Make up “typical” performance metrics
  • ❌ Create false comparative data
  • ❌ Provide unverified “expert recommendations”

When in doubt: Make the calculator purely calculation-focused using user inputs, provide guidance on where to find legitimate data, or clearly label estimates as “hypothetical examples.”
