Fleet transition intelligence
Contract endings, confirmed follow-ons, customer changes and regional moves from accepted assignments. Short administrative gaps, maintenance windows and unknown placeholder geographies/customers are de-emphasized.
Transition rows use the production-backed asset universe. Unknown regions and undisclosed customers are excluded from regional/customer movement counts and handled as coverage quality elsewhere.
