 ## SLO: Service-level objective
 
 The frequency of data updates is expected to be approximately hourly (~24 times/day). Ingestion time may depend on the total number of affected trips. Consumers are expected to ingest a single TripModification within 5 minutes, and a feed with hundreds of detours within 20 minutes.
