Reserve the file the day the report lands.
DEU summary ratings take weeks; the schedule math takes a minute. RateString runs the full 2005 PDRS pipeline — ×1.4, occupational variant, age, apportionment, CVC — and prints the DEU-format rating string for the file note. Free, no login, verified against the DIR’s published worked examples.
Same-day PD reserves
Pull WPI and apportionment from the P&S report, rate it in a minute, reserve the computed indemnity — with the string that proves it when the DEU rating arrives.

CSV in — impairment, WPI, group, age, apportionment — rated strings, weeks, and dollars out for every claim. Diary reviews and portfolio scrubs at once, exportable.
Open batch rating →The daily TD lookup
AWW + year in, TD weekly and the biweekly check out — with every year's min/max since 2013. The §4656 104-week clock runs on actual periods in the calculator.
TD rate calculator →The §4650 payment clock
First TD in 14 days, biweekly cadence, PD advances within 14 of TD ending — and the automatic 10% for anything late. The compliance map, with the penalty math alongside.
The clock →The statutory clocks, computed
DOI in — the 90-day decision window, the earliest §5405 limitations date, the §5410 five-year window, and the §4656 TD outer boundary out, with live day counts for the diary.
Deadline calculator →Read med-legals like a rater
The five numbers in every report that become the money, and the red flags raters catch — then the string and the audit trail prove the math in the authority memo.
The checklist →The money chart, always current
Every percentage 1–99 priced for any injury year since 2005 — on screen, printable, or embedded in your team's intranet page with one snippet.
