+<!-- TEMPLATE GUIDELINE
+
+MANDATORY blocks must be completed.
+OPTIONAL blocks are provided inside HTML comments: `< !--`, `-- >`
+    remove comment markers to enable
+
+IMPORTANT:
+Function docstrings are our documentation source of truth, so all relevant information should be included there.
+
+Any important information captured in the issue should be reflected in the function signature, docstring, and/or test cases to ensure it is not lost during implementation.
+-->
+
+## ℹ️ General Information
+
+<!-- MANDATORY: this section reflects current planning -->
+
+**Component Name:** some_name
+
+**Component Location:** src/FatPy/some_params.py
+
+**Suggested Python Name:** calc_some_param <!-- should be verified against existing naming conventions, nomenclature table -->
+
+**FABER WG Relation:** WG6.1
+
+**Priority:** (1-10 scale)
+
+**Technical Complexity:** (1-10 scale)
+
+**Estimated Effort:** (1-10 scale)
+
+**Dependencies:** <!-- List any dependencies on other components, libraries, or tools -->

+## 📋 Problem Description

+Problem description goes here.
+
+### Mathematical Formulation
+
+<!-- Describe algorithms, equations, and mathematical relationships -->
+$\text{Simple mathematical formulation here}$
+
+$$
+\text{Or more complex} \\
+\text{mathematical formulation here}
+$$
+
+**Latex text:**

+<!-- MANDATORY -->
+## 🔧 Implementation Guideline
+
+
+<!-- OPTIONAL
+### Abstraction / Interface Design
+
+Reference existing abstraction if any (base class, protocol, interface, abstract method).
+If no abstraction exists, explicitly state: "No existing abstraction applies."
+
+**Abstraction Reference:**
+Example: src/fatpy/core/strain_life/base_methods.py::BaseMethod
+
+-->
+
+### Function Signature
+
+<!--
+Change function signature
+- Use type hints for all parameters and return types
+- Include default values for optional parameters
+- Provide a docstring that describes the function's purpose, parameters, return value, and any
+    exceptions it may raise
+-->
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+from numpy.typing import ArrayLike, Optional, NDArray
+
+def function_name(
+    input1: ArrayLike,
+    input2: Optional[ArrayLike] = None,
+    param1: float = 0.5,
+    param2: int = 10
+) -> NDArray[np.float64]:
+    """Brief description of the function.
+
+    Some more detailed description of the function's purpose and behavior.
+
+    Args:
+        input1: Description of the first input.
+        input2: Description of the second input (optional).
+        param1: Description of the first parameter (default is 0.5).
+        param2: Description of the second parameter (default is 10).
+
+    Returns:
+        Description of the output.
+
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: Description of when this error is raised.
+        TypeError: Description of when this error is raised.    
+    """
+    pass  # Implementation goes here

+
+-->
+
+<!-- OPTIONAL
+### Expected Behavior
+
+- expected behavior
+- input assumptions
+- computation path
+- boundary behavior
+- additional requirements
+
+<!--
+
+<!-- OPTIONAL
+### Error Handling
+
+Document validation and failure behavior if applicable:
+- Input validation rules
+- Raised exceptions and when they occur
+- Message style for user-facing errors
+- Behavior for non-fatal issues (warning vs error)
+
+--> 
+
+<!-- MANDATORY -->
+## ✅ Validation & Testing
+
+#### Test Cases
+
+<!-- Provide specific test cases with expected results -->
+
+| Test Case | Inputs | Expected Outputs | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|------------------|-------|
+| Example 1 |        |                  |       |
+| Example 2 |        |                  |       |
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- Define clear acceptance criteria for the implementation -->
+- [ ] Implementation meets all specified requirements
+- [ ] Code is well-documented and follows style guidelines
+- [ ] All test cases pass successfully
+<!-- If additional criteria are needed, list them here -->
+
+<!-- MANDATORY -->
