Why the wait-time delta is the leading indicator
Equipment and trainer hours are easy to count and audit. The harder violation is access speed: a 10-day wait for a self-referred woman in an evening-practice sport rarely shows up in service-line totals because she eventually gets seen. The delta — F minus M, conditioned on referral route — is the only metric that exposes this distortion before an athlete files an OCR complaint.
