02 / ENDPOINTS

Six measurements, one sequence.

The median is reported with its interquartile range and the number of contributing observations. The rank is within the five-venue panel. For comparators, the final column repeats the paired difference from the study report: Baerx minus this venue.

A censored case is excluded from the median but retained in the completion count. An interval crossing zero is compatible with no difference at this sample size.

03 / FINDINGS

What the record shows.

F01

All ten sequences completed. Median withdrawal settlement was 20.5 minutes and median support first response was 67 minutes.

F02

Median round-trip cost was 23.75 bps; median submit-to-fill latency was 195.5 ms.

F03

Median statement completeness was 8.8 out of 10. The statement itemised cost correctly but exported only as PDF.

F04

Median onboarding time for new accounts was 28 minutes.

04 / BOUNDARIES

Where the file stops.

B01

A complete record in this sample does not establish the absence of operational incidents outside the window.

B02

The PDF-only statement is a usability finding, not evidence that the underlying data are incomplete.

B03

The venue's bank backing was not audited; the study tested the retail withdrawal route only.

06 / NEXT

Compare the file with the other four.

The venue files are written from the same observation table. No file adjusts another venue’s numbers, and no file adds a score that the study report does not publish.
