Set the method first
Assess similarity in duration, stop pattern, load, staff and ambient exposure together; document the rationale.
Review trial trips
Classify routes by duration, stops, fill, door handling and delay history. Select a representative or boundary trip; disclose deviations.
Interpret covered profiles only; assess remaining routes separately.
