How we count
Four things people put on an app platform, each with the floor the job sets before the price matters, from 9 platforms read every 3 days. A plan that stops when nothing calls it is a saving on one of these pages and a fault on another, which is the whole reason the four are separate.
Every assumption behind a number is stated once, in "How we count" on its own page.
