METHOD / COMPARISON

Compare route planners fairly

A fair comparison begins before a route is found: freeze the target set, stock boundary, route rules, and measurement method.

Separate discovery from audit

A planner finding a route and an auditor evaluating a supplied route are different operations. Report them separately.

Use a shared stock boundary

Stock availability changes route status. Declare it once and apply it consistently to every compared route.

Retain failed and incomplete cases

Exclude neither failures nor not_evaluable cases. They describe where the protocol did not yield comparable evidence.

FAQ

Questions before you start

Does RENKIN claim to outperform another planner?

No. The site presents a route-auditing workflow and asks comparisons to use a shared, documented protocol.

What should a comparison report include?

Target cohort, tool versions, stock boundary, route criteria, runtime conditions, and the full outcome categories.
