Analysis Framework
When analyzing billing trends:
- Collect update data - Gather recent and historical changes
- Categorize changes:
- Improvements: Better billing (e.g., 60/60 → 60/1)
- Deteriorations: Worse billing (e.g., 60/1 → 60/60)
- Neutral: No cost impact
- Quantify impact - Calculate cost differences
- Identify patterns - Geographic, temporal, carrier-specific
- Make predictions - Forecast likely future changes
Billing Change Classification
Major Improvement (★★★★★):
- 60/60 → 1/1 (per-minute to per-second)
- 60/60 → 60/1 (per-minute to per-second increments)
Minor Improvement (★★★):
- 60/60 → 30/30 (better granularity)
- 30/1 → 1/1 (better initial interval)
Deterioration (☆):
- 1/1 → 60/1 (worse initial charge)
- 60/1 → 60/60 (worse increments)
