The panel

Six signals, refreshed on a schedule

A fixed geo-panel sampled gently and consistently — so week-over-week deltas are real, not sampling noise. Every metric is normalized across both operators.

✦Worker supply & fleet growth

Live count of on-ground workers per neighbourhood, and how the fleet grows week over week — the cleanest read on scale.

Snabbit: ~1,021 live statuses / sweep

✦Utilization

Share of workers on a job right now, by city and time-of-day — a direct proxy for demand density and unit economics.

Snabbit sample util: 43%

✦Pricing & offers

Per-duration, per-tier prices and every promo, by city — captured daily to catch each change the day it ships.

UC InstaHelp start: ₹59–₹79

✦Availability & ETA

Whether "instant" is actually instant — real arrival promises and how often the fast lane is live per area.

UC instant-live: 10/28 points

✦Footprint & expansion

Which neighbourhoods and cities are switched on — new-market launches surface as a leading growth indicator.

✦Booking velocity

Order-sequence and cumulative-booking counters, differenced over time to estimate daily volume and GMV run-rate.

Why it's different

Operational ground truth — not app-store guesswork

Live fleet, by GPS

We read the actual on-ground worker network per neighbourhood in real time — headcount and busy/free state. Download-rank panels can't see supply; we count it directly (aggregated, never individual).

Booking velocity

Monotonic order and booking counters, sampled at fixed intervals, give a defensible read on volume growth — the number that actually moves a private valuation.
