Peak surcharge daily cost-pressure panel 2026-27
Derived daily panel (2026-09-26..2027-01-17, per carrier): on each date, how many surcharge lines are active, the headline standard-residential per-package fee in effect (NULL for USPS, which raises rate tables instead — flagged by rate_increase_active), whether the date is in the carrier's peak-of-peak window, and a documented 0-100 peak_cost_pressure = round(100 * (0.6 * active_line_count / carrier_line_total + 0.4 * residential_component)) where the residential component is fee / carrier_max_fee (UPS 0.75, FedEx 0.80, Amazon 0.75, OnTrac 1.00) or rate_increase_active for USPS. A shop joins this on ship date + carrier to budget the seasonal per-package premium; 570 rows, deterministic in code from the curated window table. Annual snapshot, yearly cadence.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| panel_id | string | Deterministic primary key: <CARRIER>-<panel_date>. |
| panel_date | date | Calendar date the panel row describes (ISO date). Join key with ship/label date. |
| carrier | string | Carrier. Join key. |
| year | integer | Peak season anchor year. (unit: year) |
| active_line_count | integer | Number of surcharge-window rows active on panel_date. |
| residential_fee_usd | float | Headline standard-residential per-package demand fee in effect on panel_date (USD); NULL when no residential line is active (always NULL for USPS, which raises rate tables instead). (unit: USD) |
| rate_increase_active | integer | 1 when the USPS temporary holiday rate change is in effect on panel_date (2026-10-04..2027-01-17); 0 otherwise. |
| in_peak_window | integer | 1 when panel_date falls in the carrier's peak-of-peak window (the highest-amount residential window). |
| any_active | integer | 1 when any surcharge line is active on panel_date. |
| peak_cost_pressure | integer | 0-100 cost pressure = round(100*(0.6*active_line_count/carrier_line_total + 0.4*residential_component)); residential_component = fee/carrier_max_fee (UPS 0.75, FedEx 0.80, Amazon 0.75, OnTrac 1.00) or rate_increase_active for USPS. |
| row_hash | string | Deterministic row key: first 16 hex chars of sha256 over canonical row values. |
First 10 sample rows — a preview, not the complete dataset.
