Ladder-safety maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the angle, reach and load numbers that keep a ladder from sliding out or buckling. The angle endpoint applies the 4:1 rule: the base goes out one foot for every four feet of working length, which lands the ladder at about 75.5° — a 24-foot ladder sits 6 feet from the wall and reaches roughly 23 feet up, steep enough not to tip back and shallow enough not to slide. The extension endpoint gives the usable length and reach of a two-section extension ladder, which loses the overlap the sections share (3 feet up to 36, 4 to 48, 5 beyond), and the working height at the safe angle — remembering the ladder must extend 3 feet above a roof edge you step onto. The duty-rating endpoint turns a total load — your weight plus tools and materials, not just bodyweight — into the right duty class, from Type III household (200 lb) through I industrial (250) to IAA professional (375). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction-safety and trades apps, jobsite and rental tools, OSHA training aids, and home-improvement sites. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. Educational — always follow the manufacturer's labels and OSHA/ANSI rules.

Climbing Fall API
Rock-climbing fall maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the safety numbers behind a lead fall, from the harshness of the catch to whether you hit the deck. The fall-factor endpoint gives the fall factor, distance fallen ÷ rope paid out, from 0 to a maximum of 2: it, not the absolute distance, decides how hard the catch is, so 4 metres on 2 metres of rope is a brutal factor-2 onto the anchor while the same fall on 10 metres of rope is a mild 0.4. The impact-force endpoint gives the peak force the rope transmits from the spring model F = mg + √((mg)² + 2·mg·k·f), where k is the rope modulus (~20 kN for a dynamic single rope) and f the fall factor — so an 80 kg climber on a factor-1 fall feels about 6.4 kN, and the top runner sees roughly 1.66× that from the pulley effect. The ground-fall endpoint adds it up: total drop = twice the height above the last piece, plus slack, plus the rope's stretch, and tells you whether that clears the ground or a ledge. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for climbing apps, gym and guiding tools, route-planning and education sites, and gear calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. Educational estimates — not a substitute for instruction and judgement.

Vehicle Braking API
Vehicle-braking physics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The stopping-distance endpoint computes the total distance to stop a vehicle as the sum of the reaction distance the vehicle travels during the driver's reaction time, v·t, and the braking distance v²/(2·μ·g) — which grows with the square of speed, so doubling the speed quadruples the braking distance — from the speed, the tyre-road friction coefficient, the reaction time and the road grade, along with the deceleration and the time to stop. The braking-force endpoint computes the braking force F = m·a and the deceleration of a vehicle, either from a stop-in-a-given-distance (a = v²/2d) or from the friction coefficient (a = μ·g), with the kinetic energy that must be dissipated as heat. The skid-speed endpoint reconstructs the speed at the start of a skid from the skid-mark length, v = √(2·μ·g·d), a lower-bound estimate used in accident reconstruction. Speed is in km/h by default (also m/s or mph), mass in kg and distances in m; dry asphalt has μ ≈ 0.7, wet ≈ 0.4 and ice ≈ 0.1. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for automotive, driving-safety, fleet, telematics and accident-reconstruction app developers, stopping-distance and forensic tools, and physics education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is vehicle braking; for general kinematics use a kinematics API and for an object on a slope an inclined-plane API.

Rigging Load API
Rigging and lifting load maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The wll endpoint relates the working load limit to the minimum breaking strength through the safety (design) factor: give a breaking strength and it returns the working load limit (WLL = MBS ÷ safety factor), or give a working load limit and it returns the minimum breaking strength your hardware must be rated for (MBS = WLL × safety factor). The safety factor can be given directly or looked up by component — general rigging and wire rope 5, chain sling 4, shackle 6, personnel/man-rated 10. The sling endpoint computes the tension in each leg of a multi-leg sling as the lifting angle changes: because the legs pull at an angle, each carries more than its share, with a load factor of 1/sin(angle to horizontal) — 1.0 vertical, 1.15 at 60°, 1.41 at 45° and 2.0 at 30° — and it accepts the angle from horizontal, from vertical or the included angle between legs. The safety endpoint lists the typical design factors. Loads are given in kilograms, pounds, tonnes, kilonewtons or newtons and reported in all of them. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. A planning aid, not a substitute for a qualified rigger or the governing standard (ASME B30, EN, local code). Ideal for crane and lifting apps, construction and warehouse tools, theatrical and entertainment rigging, and towing and recovery calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rigging load maths; for the weight of the steel being lifted use a metal-weight API.

Covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Ideal for property and neighbourhood-safety apps, real-estate and relocation tools, local-news and civic-data dashboards, and crime and policing research.
