Volume cohort cuts

Performance dynamics differ by operating scale. Use the cohort table below to set realistic milestone targets.

Monthly Ride Cohort Median Fulfillment Median On-Time Pickup Median Assignment Lag Median Same-Day Cancellations
Under 2,000 rides 93.5% 88.9% 14 minutes 6.2%
2,000-8,000 rides 92.7% 87.2% 16 minutes 7.0%

How to apply this benchmark set

  • Prioritize one lead KPI and one supporting KPI per quarter
  • Map KPI gaps to workflow root causes (intake, dispatch, driver execution)
  • Use weekly trendline checks, not monthly snapshots only
  • Pair KPI targets with training and policy controls
