But this makes no provision for the type of surface, condition of the runway, braking effect, etc. ...

I don't see this how this is relevant to the question that has been asked. Your answer seems to be to quite another question, i.e. "how might you calculate an accelerate-stop distance if you have performance figures in a POH but no specific graph for ASDR."

The thread question is quite different and relates to a visual "go/no-go" check during take-off of a certain speed against percentage runway distance. For aircraft using short strips, it is often the case that there is no POH performance data available anyway.
