A WORKING MODEL

How does a fuel price
become a surcharge?

Two inputs feed a lookup. The result belongs to a period.
Explore what is shared, what varies, and what happens when either input changes.

THE FOUR ELEMENTS

Follow the relationship, then inspect the detail.

These applicability periods demonstrate version selection. They are not verified official scale-effective dates.

API inputFile / CSVManual entry

The EIA jet-fuel series can be synced via the backend. Other source inputs are manual examples; none automatically verifies FedEx's reference aggregation.

    Actual imported publications

    Published rates are evidence in their own right. The supplied example is not claimed to reproduce these rates.

    TWO DIFFERENT UPDATE PROCESSES

    Change the input. Or change the rules.

    INPUT → LOOKUP → DATED RESULT

    A new reference creates the next update.

    The lookup rules can stay the same while the fuel reference changes. A weekly service repeats this each week; local methods may update monthly.

    Preview uses the backend without saving. Storing an update preserves its observations, selected table and calculation trace.

    Supply dated observations from a file or another system

    Dates and values are submitted to the input API. Source and unit follow the selected service.

    See the input API request

    SERVICE AND LOCAL DIFFERENCES

    The same four elements. Different assignments.

    Changing a service can change the fuel benchmark, result unit and table. A local market can add a different source or reference method. Several markets can share a table.

    All available demo scenarios

    NL/BE sharing is an explicit demo assignment supported by matching captured bands. Production ownership is not inferred. Only the representative scenarios shown here are executable. Side-by-side comparison uses baseline examples; workspace changes are inspected in the four-element model.
