Why your map ranking stalls every time a competitor updates their hours

The logistics of proximity and the hidden freshness signal I smell the exhaust of idling service vans and the metallic tang of a cold server room.

The street photographer notices the tiny details. I see the slight misalignment of a storefront sign or the way wet concrete reflects the neon hum of a local pharmacy.
