ROADMAP

Current v0.0.1 (Pre-Alpha)

Goal: Fix the core math, clean up the UI, add manual overrides, and lay the foundation for new calculation tools.

[ ] Fix REBA & RULA Math: Verify that the math for REBA and RULA is 100% accurate and matches standard scoring charts.
[ ] Test with Real Data: Set up automated tests with sample data to catch calculation bugs or rounding errors early.
[ ] Fix Crashes & Logs: Move logging to an asynchronous setup and fix race conditions causing background task crashes.
[ ] Clean Up PyQt6 UI: Remove broken buttons and placeholder menus. Fully implement the global Settings page and finish the live data dashboard.
[ ] Add Manual Overrides: Allow users to manually input Force/Load values and save these inputs to the session.
[ ] Refactor Code Architecture: Clean up the base calculator code to make it easy for developers to integrate new tools later.

Goal: Establish a stable core and GUI while adding new ergonomic calculation engines.

[ ] Stable Core and GUI: Complete an audit of the core engine and interface to fix remaining bugs and stabilize operations.
[ ] Add NIOSH Lifting Engine: Integrate the NIOSH Lifting Equation to handle complex, multi-task lifting calculations.
[ ] Add OCRA Index: Build out the tools for the Occupational Repetitive Actions index and checklists.
[ ] Add Snook & EWAS Tables: Implement EWAS and Snook tables for pushing, pulling, and carrying operations using array-based lookups.

Goal: Conduct thorough real-world QA testing, resolve edge-case bugs, and optimize calculation speeds.

[ ] Bug Fixes: Identify and resolve user-facing bugs and interface inconsistencies.
[ ] Real-World QA Testing: Test application features in real-world settings and update logic based on user feedback.
[ ] Numba Optimization: Use Numba to compile heavy mathematical functions into native machine code for faster execution.
[ ] Performance Audit: Run performance benchmarks on calculation loops using large datasets.

Goal: Continuous bug fixing, performance tuning, and adding minor feature updates only as strictly necessary.

... More to do

Goal: Launch a complete, fully audited, and thoroughly tested standalone tool with minimal external dependencies.

Version	Main Focus	Status
v0.0.1 (Pre-Alpha)	Fix math errors, clean up UI, add manual overrides, and prepare architecture	In Progress
