a

The predicted RPP orders with CDS in place is compared to counterfactual estimates representing expected number of orders without CDS. The difference is calculated as predicted RPP orders minus counterfactual. The total cost savings was estimated by multiplying the total difference times the estimated cost of each RPP. Time represents the number of months after January 2022.
