Operational closure profile

What makes the Armenia calendar operationally different

Bridge-day pressure

4 public holidays fall on Tuesday or Thursday, creating likely bridge-day pressure around adjacent Mondays or Fridays.

Dataset type mix

Dataset type mix is led by 14 public entries. This is separate from legal closure strength; always confirm local substitution and sector rules.

Public-holiday practice can vary by region, sector, and employer. Use official government or workplace calendars for legal closure decisions.

Holiday calendar method

How we calculate this: We load the current and next-year holiday rows for AM, intersect them with the next 365 days, classify each public-holiday row with a transparent keyword heuristic (religious / civic / cultural / other), and derive the weekday distribution, longest holiday-free stretch, and longest consecutive-holiday cluster (counting weekends adjacent to public-holiday dates).
Data sources: Holiday rows from the curated holiday catalog (src/data/holidays.json); country roster, ISO AM, and timezones from src/data/countries.json; DST observance from the IANA tzdata mirror in src/data/zones.json. Peer-country selection uses same-continent overlap on the holiday-slug set.
Update cadence: Page revalidates daily (revalidate = 86400) so the year-pattern card, next-holiday signal, and peer-comparison counts stay current.
