The chain crosses a boundary and no usable party join exists on either side. more
A chain is only as sure as its weakest join, so the figure above is the minimum across the 2 joins below, not their average.

The amounts in the right-hand column are what each document carried, and they are deliberately not added up — the same money is written down once at each of the 3 stages this hire passed through. This service carries no monetary value at all — it is internal work — so no value figure is shown for it anywhere.

The mean of 4.3 d sits above the median of 4.3 d, which is why the distribution is drawn rather than reported as an average: the gap between the median and the slowest tenth is 28.3 h, and it is that tail, not the average, that customers of this service actually feel. The commitment is 720 hours; no chain started early enough in a one-week window to be judged against it.
The ledger behind these chains is one week, 10 to 16 August 2026, which is 168 hours. A chain that had not finished when the week ended is open, not late: the week simply stopped watching it. A chain whose commitment falls after the end of the week could never have been seen to miss, so its service level reads not measurable rather than holding. Nothing on these pages should be read as a monthly or annual attainment. This chain both started and finished inside that week, so its cycle time is a measurement.
