| 20 | +## 🗣️ Step-by-Step Script & Actions |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### 0. The Hook & Civic Grounding (0:00 - 0:25) |
| 23 | +* **Setup:** Start on the main React page. |
| 24 | +* **Action:** Direct the audience's attention to the header, and click the blue **"📰 Data Journalism Editorial"** button. This opens Lihai's article in a new tab. |
| 25 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 26 | + > *"Good afternoon, judges. Today we are presenting the **Open Bus Shared Infra Platform**. Public transit open data is often treated as a raw, academic exercise—but we wanted to ground our research in real-world civic impact.* |
| 27 | + > |
| 28 | + > *We start with **Lihai's Data Journalism Editorial**: a long-form public narrative outlining what the open data actually shows about Israeli bus service. But Lihai's article isn't static—every chart and headline numbers is backed by a live, production-ready analytical engine we built together."* |
| 29 | +
|
| 30 | +### 1. The Production Platform (0:25 - 1:00) |
| 31 | +* **Action:** Close Lihai's tab to return to the React dashboard. Point to the **"Lines: 142"** and **"Operators: דן"** filters. Then, click the orange **"🖥️ Start Pitch Mode"** button. |
| 32 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 33 | + > *"When we started this hackathon, we each had separate, messy Jupyter notebooks and drafts. Instead of presenting isolated slides, we consolidated all of our work into **one unified, real-time dashboard carrying 17 registered analyses**.* |
| 34 | + > |
| 35 | + > *When we change a single filter—like **Line 142 of Dan**—every single card, map, and heatmap synchronizes instantly. To walk you through our discoveries, we built **Pitch Mode** directly into our interface."* |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | +### 2. Narrative Case Studies: From Timetable to Poisson Decay (1:00 - 1:50) |
| 38 | +* **Action:** Click **"Next ▶"** on the Pitch Bar to go to **Step 1 (Optimistic Timetable)**. The screen will automatically scroll and flash-highlight the Segment Reliability card. |
| 39 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 40 | + > *"Our first discovery is **The Optimistic Timetable**. In 'Where the timetable is optimistic', we compare GTFS scheduled times against actual GPS arrivals. We immediately see that schedulers are chronically optimistic about intermediate segments, leaving no margin for traffic.* |
| 41 | +* **Action:** Click **"Next ▶"** to go to **Step 2 (Rush Hour Breakdown)**. The screen scrolls and flashes the Heatmap. Hover over a dark red cell to show the new tooltip formatting. |
| 42 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 43 | + > *How do those delays form? In 'Which segments break down at rush hour', we continuously map travel-time ratios. We can see the exact segments that collapse during the morning rush hour. Hovering over a cell shows you not just the ratio, but the **exact observed actual vs. planned minutes—and even seconds—lost**.* |
| 44 | +* **Action:** Click **"Next ▶"** to go to **Step 3 (Regularity Decay)**. The screen scrolls and flashes Yuval's Poisson card. |
| 45 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 46 | + > *As these delayed buses travel downstream, headway spacing decays. In Yuval’s **Poisson Arrival Regularity** card, we map the headway Coefficient of Variation ($C_v$). Buses leave the origin perfectly spaced, but by the end of the route, $C_v$ approaches `1.0`—indicating fully random, exponential Poisson spacing. The schedule is completely lost."* |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | +### 3. Business Model: Automated SLA Auditing (1:50 - 2:20) |
| 49 | +* **Action:** Click **"Next ▶"** to go to **Step 4 (SLA Audits)**. The screen scrolls and flashes the Service Violations card. |
| 50 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 51 | + > *"This headway decay leads directly to severe bus bunching and contractual SLA infractions. In Israel, operators are heavily fined by the Ministry of Transport for early departures and cancellations.* |
| 52 | + > |
| 53 | + > *We built an **Automated SLA Audit Tool** that scans GPS pings on the fly. It filters out pre-departure boarding pings to prevent false alarms, and flags exact early departures, late terminal starts, and cancelled ghost rides. This is a ready-to-use contract enforcement platform for municipalities."* |
| 54 | +* **Action:** Click **"Next ▶"** to go to **Step 5 (Route Divergences)**. The screen scrolls and flashes the Divergence map. |
| 55 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 56 | + > *If a bus takes an unauthorized detour, our geofencing algorithm detects route divergence, plotting the exact physical streets where the driver strayed from the GTFS shape."* |
| 57 | +
|
| 58 | +### 4. Standalone Tel Aviv Dashboards (2:20 - 2:45) |
| 59 | +* **Action:** Scroll to the top and click the blue **"🗺️ TLV Bus Speed Map"** button. This opens the speed map in a new tab. |
| 60 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 61 | + > *"Finally, to show the scale of our data engine, we integrated two full-scale interactive Tel Aviv dashboards. This is our **Bus Speed Map**, analyzing door-to-door speeds across every street in Tel Aviv for **over 100,000 rides**. It calculates exactly how many 'bus-minutes' are lost in gridlock, showing planners exactly where a bus lane is economically justified."* |
| 62 | +
|
| 63 | +### 5. Open Source Collaboration & Wrap (2:45 - 3:00) |
| 64 | +* **Action:** Close the Speed Map tab. Scroll to the absolute bottom of the React dashboard to display the **"Source Material"** appendix. Expand one of the files (e.g. `open_bus_poisson_analysis_all_in_one.ipynb`) to show the code cell rendering. |
| 65 | +* **Spoken Script:** |
| 66 | + > *"To ensure 100% data transparency and peer reproducibility, we built a **Source Material appendix** at the bottom of the page. It connects server-side to fetch our original Jupyter notebooks, scripts, and static drafts—displaying our raw research side-by-side with our final interactive cards.* |
| 67 | + > |
| 68 | + > *We didn't just build a dashboard; we built a collaborative data infrastructure for public transit accountability. Thank you, and we welcome your questions!"* |

| 72 | +### 💡 Pro Presenter Tips for the Q&A Session: |
| 73 | +1. **"Why do we see different sample sizes in the Heatmap?"** |
| 74 | + * *Answer:* "Our data doesn't hide telemetry realities. Dropouts are due to poor cellular reception or cellular canyons. Furthermore, buses passing too quickly between 30-second SIRI pings skip the narrow geofences of intermediate stops, which naturally drops their sample sizes." |
| 75 | +2. **"How do you resolve ambiguous line numbers?"** |
| 76 | + * *Answer:* "We engineered a geographical dropdown filter 'City / route contains'. By choosing a city like 'תל אביב', our backend automatically resolves the correct line variant, preventing the uvicorn API from mixing up routes." |
| 77 | +3. **"Can we scan more days?"** |
| 78 | + * *Answer:* "Yes! To prevent heavy network loads during a live demo, we sample two weekdays by default, but we've built a 'Max days' option directly onto the bunching card so you can disable sampling and scan the entire date window on the fly." |
