FA-85745 / Ride-hailing fare and surge pricing / Member archive

Published multiplier exceeds the 3.0x cap · case 05

A raw 3.5x zone publishes 3.5x.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 7 checks per implementation

Case contract

Smooth zone multipliers (tenths): each zone publishes the max of its own raw multiplier and each neighbor's raw multiplier minus 5, clamped to [10, 30]. Adjacency is symmetric even when listed once; neighbors without a raw multiplier are ignored; all reads use raw values, never already-smoothed ones. Return zone -> published multiplier.

Why this case matters

Ride-hailing prices are computed per trip at scale; ordering, unit and boundary slips become systematic over- or under-charging.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
