Runs judgment. Starts when the annual doctrine review opens. It runs 3 times a week across 7 stations. One of those stations stops for a person and 6 are done by an agent, none of them on the shared spine.

Decisions handed to agents0 of 0

This service has at most one gate, so there is nothing to hand over without removing the last human decision.

Each one is assumed to have 2,100 productive minutes a week, which is 35 hours.

Where an item spends its time

18% waiting on a person

82% in the agent lane

An item now takes 14,156 minutes of worked time end to end against 14,156 in the recorded estate, a change of +0%. This is worked time, not calendar time: nothing here models a queue or a weekend.

What this model is, on Network Study

The simulation is arithmetic on the estate, not a queueing model. more

How it runs

Run it again, going wrong

The same unit and the same stations, broken the way the estate already records breaking. more

7 stations, walked twice

Once clean, once with the categories the estate counts

This is the same unit on the same stations, breaking. more

No break below was chosen. more

One play head, two tracks, the same scale. The clean run stops when it runs out of stations; the other one keeps going.
