  "description": "CALCULATION tool. Required daily and weekly pace to close each numeric gap within target_days, with a linear scenario plus alternatives and labeled assumptions. A projection, never a prediction. Caller metrics are checked for plausibility. spotlight_view_time_hours_28d above view_time_hours_28d returns VALUE_INCONSISTENT. view_time_hours_28d above 28 days × 24 hours × followers × 0.5 is a warning that the figure is unusually high for your follower count, please check for a typo. The warning also says view time can come from non-followers. followers of 0 with hours above 0 is the same kind of warning, never an error.",
