How to read a pace estimate
When a ledger has a remaining target, Accrue estimates a weekly pace using the current calendar week and the previous seven. Weeks with no credited work from the first active week through the current week count as zero, including the current week when nothing has been credited there. Fewer than two active weeks is not enough to estimate a pace, so the projection may be absent early on.
The projection extends that recent average against the ledger's remaining headline target. Later work, missing records, new rules, exclusions, and interruptions can change the estimate. Check its as-of date and the ledger details before comparing it with another reading.
For example, if four weeks in the averaging span have 20, 0, 10, and 10 credited hours, the total is 40 hours over four weeks, or 10 hours a week. With 100 hours remaining, that pace projects 10 weeks; Accrue truncates the average to a whole minute and rounds projected weeks up. A projection is a planning estimate, not a fixed completion date.
Deadlines and hour windows
A source may set an expected graduation date, a period in which hours count, or a lookback after which older experience is limited. Accrue can show the date supplied for your program or encoded in a cited ledger rule. A warning means to review that detail; it does not predict an authority's decision or replace current instructions.
Update your own graduation or registration dates when they change, and check that credentials are recorded for the dates they cover. If the source is missing, marked as a placeholder, or does not match your situation, do not treat the projected standing as verified.
What standing means
A ledger may summarize its current reading as starting, on track, attention, or complete. Those labels describe the saved records and the targets, gates, and warnings in that ledger. “Complete” means its modeled targets are met; it does not mean a board or program has approved your application.
Open a standing card to see why it appears. Review lost or capped hours, unfilled targets, supervision requirements, and source notes. If your circumstances do not fit a preset, see your own requirements and verify the figures you enter with the source that applies to you.
Plan the next review
- Keep dates, settings, supervisors, and credentials current.
- Review the ledger after correcting older records or changing a rule version.
- Use a projection as one input for planning, not as a fixed finish date or eligibility decision.
- Confirm deadlines and requirements with the program or authority named by the ledger.
