TL;DR AI

Key summary

2 min read
  1. Business-day counting cannot be solved by simply dividing total days by seven.

  2. Full 7-day blocks can be counted directly, but leftover days must be checked against a custom workday set.

  3. Partial weeks depend on which weekdays fall in the range, so custom work schedules must be handled explicitly.

  5. Accurate deadline and scheduling tools need to account for weekday patterns and date direction to avoid errors.
