- The benchmark counts unanswered single-provider requests as taking over a second and marks turns as cold unless a scenario says otherwise.
Field notes
The benchmark is presented as a replay of measured turns sent through the same endpoint customers use, rather than a simulation. The page says it draws up to 420 dots while preserving the distribution, and links to results by hour, scenarios, and methodology. Its comparison uses the same requests for the single-provider baseline; the site notes that no-answer requests count as exceeding one second.
