<h2>📊 How This Works</h2>
<p>This isn't a deterministic calculator—it's a <strong>probabilistic engine</strong>. Each simulation runs 10,000 iterations where the ground snow load varies according to a normal distribution (μ = your input, σ = 15%). Why? Because storms aren't averages. They're outliers.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 20px;">The slope factor C_s is computed per ASCE 7 Equation 7-6:</p>
<div class="formula-box">
C_s = 1.0 30°)/70° for 30° ≤ θ ≤ 50°<br>
C_s = 1.0 for θ &lt; 30°<br>
C_s = 0.0 for θ ≥ 50°
</div>
<p style="margin-top: 20px;"><strong>Failure Probability:</strong> The percentage of iterations where p_s exceeds your structural capacity. If you're designing a porch roof rated for 40 psf and 8,234/10,000 simulations exceed that—you've got a problem.</p>
