PaperLab Equation Dimensional Audit

When to Use

USE WHEN: reviewing equations, formula notation, unit consistency, or repeated technical correlations in an engineering textbook.

Pair with:

• paperlab-scientific-traceability-audit for equation provenance,
• neqsim-in-writing for implementation links,
• paperlab-standards-clause-traceability for standards-based formulas.

Audit Dimensions

Workflow

1. Extract display equations delimited by $$...$$ and inline formulas using

$...$ when they contain engineering symbols.

1. Normalize symbols and compare against nomenclature.yaml.
2. Check units and dimensions where possible.
3. Detect conflicting definitions such as q for heat duty and volumetric flow

in the same chapter without clarification.

1. Detect formula variants that need an assumptions note.
2. Recommend nomenclature additions and local text fixes.

Output Pattern

## Equation Audit: <chapter>
 
-Status: ready | minor-revision | major-revision | blocked
-Undefined symbols:
  -<symbol and equation context>
-Unit issues:
  -<quantity and suspected issue>
-Formula variants:
  -<formula family and recommended distinction>
-Recommended next edit: <one concrete action>

Safety Rules

• Do not declare an equation wrong from notation alone.
• Treat approximate teaching equations as acceptable when assumptions are clear.
• Never invent standards clauses or citations for equations.
