arXiv:2610.21477v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical calculators translate raw patient observations into clinically actionable values and scores. However, applying these calculators directly to free-form patient notes requires precise variable extraction combined with the exact execution of complex formulas, scoring rules, and output conventions. Relying solely on direct large language model (LLM) prompting is unreliable in this context, as rule recall, parameter extraction, arithmetic reasoning, and formatting become entangled within a single generative step. To address these limitations,
