The six calculators are the largest design surface in the stack family and the

RootStack are archived; the live family is InsightStack, FieldStack,

ImpactMojo properties. The family is three stacks, InsightStack, FieldStack and
EquityStack, with openstacks.dev as the index. SignalStack is the Research
Rundown companion archive, beside the stacks rather than one of them.
PolicyStack is superseded by PolicyDhara; RootStack, BridgeStack and ViewStack

[openstacks.dev](https://openstacks.dev) is the index for all of it. [SignalStack](https://github.com/Varnasr/SignalStack) is the companion archive for the [Research Rundown](https://researchrundown.substack.com) newsletter, alongside the stacks rather than one of them. [PolicyStack](https://github.com/Varnasr/PolicyStack) is superseded by [PolicyDhara](https://github.com/Varnasr/PolicyDhara). RootStack, BridgeStack and ViewStack are archived.

**Use EquityStack when** you work in Python/Jupyter. Use **FieldStack** for R-based equivalents. Use **InsightStack** for Stata tools and MEL calculators.
