Started Tue, Aug 11, 01:28, and has not ended inside the observation window.
How the stages were joined
Mixed · 0.64
The chain used more than one matching regime across its stages, so it is only as strong as its weakest join.
A chain is only as sure as its weakest join, so the figure above is the minimum across the 3 joins below, not their average.

1 of the 5 stages were never found; the chain stops after cash applied. That is the chain as observed, not proof the work did not happen elsewhere.

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 4 stages this order passed through. This service counts value once, at invoice issued, which puts $28,927 against this chain.

The mean of 3.0 d sits on the median of 3.0 d, which is why the distribution is drawn rather than reported as an average: the gap between the median and the slowest tenth is 0 min, and it is that tail, not the average, that customers of this service actually feel. This chain is not complete, so it is not in the 1 above. The commitment is 336 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 had not finished when the window closed, so its cycle time is a floor, not a duration — it is right-censored, and it is not counted as a breach anywhere on this platform.
