Is Ovulation defined the same way everywhere?

Not always. Mathematical terms are usually stable, but financial, health, legal, tax, product and data terms can vary by country, institution or source.

Why does the definition matter?

A calculator result is easier to judge when the key term, unit and assumption are clear before you compare it with another source.
