A request receipt can start a clock

The toy clock starts from a request receipt date, response-window label, and counting rule.

Toy response window

The classroom window counts 20 calendar day(s) from the receipt date.

Toy deadline label

The toy deadline label is 2026-08-24, but real public-records laws, agency calendars, and facts require review.

Diagram note

The clock render carries high-stakes badges and does not give response deadline advice.
