A lesson from a stall
Once capacity increase stalled a schedule because responsibility was unassigned to anyone. We set a rule: verify small before scaling, and assign a named owner to keep things moving forward steadily without confusion or quiet blame between the teams involved.
Write the details down
We put response time, patrol frequency, replacement standards and channels into clauses. Above all we turn individual cases into a mechanism others on the team can repeat with confidence and consistent results every time the operational need arises on a site.
Back to Laizhou users
In Laizhou the test is handiness, cost fairness and reachability for residents. Return visits showed feedback clustering on the same details; design improves when users join the early discussion about their own daily needs and habits with us.
Capacity work is judged by the peak, not the average, and we design for the worst credible evening rather than the typical one. Oversizing a little costs less than apologizing to a queue of drivers who cannot charge when they urgently need to leave.
