The area
Saturation that counts Do Not Contact is a lie about the knocks
You feel it when Friday says the territory is saturated and Monday still has doors the crew must not hit. What is territory saturation is worked knocks over the workable area. Nobody-home is worked. Do Not Contact is a pin you leave alone. Counting it as coverage makes the territory look finished.
Worked
A knock landed. Not Home still moves saturation. The next crew should not recut that pin as fresh.
Left
Unvisited pins that are still workable. That is the rest of the area.
Off the base
Do Not Contact and invalid addresses do not count toward coverage. They come off the workable doors.
West basin
Ninety-six knocks, five DNC, a percent you can recompute
West basin holds 240 assigned pins inside one sales territory. 5 are Do Not Contact. Maya logs 96 knocks, and 28 of those 96 are Not Home. Workable assigned doors are 240 minus 5, which is 235. Territory saturation is 96 / 235, about 40.9 percent. If someone counts the 5 DNC pins as worked, they read 101 / 240, about 42.1 percent. Those 5 knocks never happened.
| Case | Worked knocks | Workable base | Saturation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honest read | 96, including 28 Not Home | 240 minus 5 DNC = 235 | 96 / 235 ≈ 40.9% |
| DNC counted as worked | 101 | 240 | 101 / 240 ≈ 42.1% |
| What changed | 5 pins the crew must not knock | They stayed in the base | The area looks more done than it is |
