CalcConnect
Calculator / connect utility experiments — small interactive surfaces that sit beside the actuarial and modeling notes.
A good calc UI is a tiny GLM: clear inputs, honest defaults, and an output you can audit without opening a second window.
What’s here
Source
The CalcConnect site uses AI-assisted proofs beside small interactive calculators.
Design intent
Quick interactive calc surfaces for Tailscale-local demos — interest, development factors, probability helpers — without leaving the site shell.
Pair with the notes
Development factors and probability helpers sit next to the loss-triangle page.
Build notes
- Inputs are contracts. Label units (years, $, probabilities). Silent unit mistakes are the most expensive bugs in calc tools.
- Show the formula. A one-line expression under the result turns a black box into a teaching aid.
- Keep state shareable. Query-string or hash params let you send a coworker the exact scenario you just ran.
- Pair with theory. Link out to linear algebra, exam case studies, and loss triangles when a calc illustrates a larger idea.
