Timing is the whole discipline
Dig into almost any chauffeur journey that goes wrong and you'll find a timing problem in disguise. The car pulls up on the hour, when it ought to have been waiting ten minutes before. Someone picks the route for its distance and ignores what the traffic is doing that particular morning. Or a meeting over-runs into a slot that had no slack left in it.
Platinum starts at the arrival that counts and plans in reverse. Nobody chooses a departure time first; it comes out of that sum, and every gap in the itinerary is sized to soak up the hold-ups an ordinary working day is sure to throw at it.
- Leaving time worked out from when you need to arrive, never the reverse
- Traffic read hour by hour and in each direction, never as one average
- Breathing room planned into multi-stop days, not haggled over once they're under way
