Know what FreeDOPE can calculate—and what it cannot verify

FreeDOPE calculates a trajectory from the profile, atmosphere, wind call, geometry, and target data supplied to it. It can preserve the source and revision of those inputs; it cannot independently inspect the rifle, measure the range, read the wind along the full flight path, or confirm where a shot actually landed.

FreeDOPE can consistently solve the model represented by the accepted workspace. It cannot know that the selected rifle, ammunition lot, optic units, zero, or target distance matches reality. It cannot turn an airport observation into a guaranteed range atmosphere or a single wind speed into the wind along the entire path. It cannot determine that an impact call, chronograph string, or range measurement is trustworthy. Only deliberate comparison with repeatable observations can verify that a profile is useful for its intended range.

Precision is not proof. Extra decimal places describe calculation output, not confidence. Stop when profile identity, units, distance, conditions, or accepted-revision state is uncertain.

Expected result. You can explain which parts of a call came from measured evidence, which came from modeling, and which still require confirmation.
