So I have done a few checks for calcium over the last couple weeks to figure out a dosing schedule.
My readings are
Nov 22 430ppm
Nov 27 404ppm

My other measurements dont count because I was being dumb and used my hanna checker incorrectly.
From my understanding should I be dosing for 6ppm every day or should I wait another week of measurements to see what i should start dosing.

And does this sound correct: daily consumption of alkalinity is .6dkh daily calcium is 6ppm
Or is the consumption of each element basically in track of what would be expected for heavy lps and light sps

If your test results are consistent then I would say you can dose accordingly but continue to test

I tested daily for some time to calculate mine and now test weekly. I am around what you are. .5dkh per day and 25 ppm ca per week

Cool I'm glad that your consumption is close to mine because I wasnt sure if my testing was correct.
