## What you can answer with it

- **Which app delivers fastest at this pin code?** Compare the typical minutes each app promised on the same day.
- **Where does a fast-delivery promise slip?** The slowest minutes per day show where promises stretch.
- **Does delivery slow down in the evening rush?** Readings carry their time, so you can compare hours within a day.

## Method and limits

Delivery times come from what each app showed shoppers: Rewalto's own search readings, partner app reads, and the weekly dark-store checks, each marked in the source field. They are promises shown on screen, not measured deliveries. Only some sources are read daily; the others are history, and the coverage table says which.

Public data Rewalto collects itself from public pages. The collection policy and the customer licence terms are being drafted.
