Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 7 days
- Trigger
- Arranging for the expert to provide an expert report
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.

- Added on verification: the researcher captured the expert report dates in r 74.3 but not the 7-day instruction deadline in r 74.2(1), which runs from a much earlier and easily overlooked event, the arranging of the report. The obligation is to send the letter, not to file it, so UCR r 2.2(4) roll-forward does not on its terms apply.
