  "derivation": "Mean start wait in this invented cohort is(170+110+50)/3=110 minutes versus(50+50+50)/3=50. These exclude review duration and are not population latency estimates.",

  "boundary": "This compares explicit review-start cadences rather than retrospective request-to-response clock reconstruction.",
  "limitations": "The hourly policy assumes all three slots are feasible. Queueing during review and variable processing time are not modelled.",
