What To Do Next
Salesperson (door-to-door) has some offset potential, but it depends on transition pathways holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.
What helps
- Nearby moves and published transition support look reasonably strong.
What could slow it down
- Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
