NKB Calculation Methodology
Our gaming calculators, planners, and progression models use transparent mathematical formulas based on documented game mechanics.
NKB Gaming Intelligence Index
Aggregated database statistics and calculation coverage across all supported game hubs and interactive tools.
Data Source Classifications
Official Developer Data
Directly sourced from publisher patch notes, developer livestreams, official API schemas, or published mechanics guides. Used wherever verifiable first-party figures are available.
Community-Sourced Research
Curated from reputable community theorycrafters, speedrun documentation, and collective community wikis. Cross-checked against in-game benchmarks before incorporation.
NKB In-Browser Calculations
Formulas run client-side in your browser, applying algebraic relationships (e.g., base damage × motion value × hit zone modifier) to user-configured inputs.
Estimated & Preliminary Models
Where games feature hidden RNG distributions, dynamic modifiers, or pre-release balance changes, outputs are mathematically extrapolated and explicitly marked as estimates.
How Our Tools Operate
⚡ Client-Side Execution
All calculator engines run locally in your web browser using modern TypeScript. Your configured parameters and custom loadouts remain private on your device and update calculations immediately without server round-trips.
🔄 Patch Updates & Maintenance
When game updates, weapon balance passes, or seasonal resets alter base numbers, our editorial team audits affected tools. Freshness indicators on tool pages indicate the verified patch baseline.
⚠️ Limitations & Boundary Conditions
Actual in-game results can deviate from calculated predictions due to network latency, stealth hotfixes, framerate-dependent physics ticks, server-side RNG rolls, or undocumented modifier interactions.
📩 Data Correction & Feedback Policy
If you notice an outdated formula, incorrect stat multiplier, or altered drop table following a patch, we encourage community feedback. We verify and correct reported inaccuracies promptly.
