How we measure
- Counted: every order placed through the PanelFollows web panel, its API and the reseller panels that run on PanelFollows infrastructure. Figures are aggregated per category; no individual order, user or supplier is published.
- Delivery time runs from the moment an order is placed to the moment it is marked completed. It includes the start delay and the delivery itself.
- A monthly report covers the orders placed in that calendar month (UTC). 7 days after the month ends, the figures are finalized and never change again; orders that have not finished by then are not counted. Until then the report is marked "preliminary". Each order counts toward its service's category at that moment.
- A category is listed once it has at least 5 completed orders; a service counts as proven with at least 3 completed orders.
- Completion rate is fully delivered orders divided by finished orders. Partial and cancelled orders count as not completed, and their undelivered amount is refunded to the balance. Orders still running are not counted yet.
- Excluded: orders still running; orders refunded by an administrator or marked as failed (for example, orders that could not be passed to the supplier; their number is shown separately in the monthly breakdown); orders whose service has been removed from the catalog. No data from other panels is used, and this report is not a comparison.
- We use the median, not the average: a handful of very slow orders cannot hide behind fast ones, and a handful of fast ones cannot make a slow category look good.
Conflict of interest
This data comes from PanelFollows' own orders; it is not an independent audit. PanelFollows sells the service measured in this report. That is why we publish the method and the category-level totals as open data: no row is removed, weak categories included, and the figures are not adjusted.
Open data
The CSV and JSON files contain category-level totals only: no personal data, no user or order IDs and no supplier names. They also include partial and cancelled counts and the 90th percentile delivery time.
