Quoted host changes and outliers (22)
Many models are sold by several hosts at different rates, and we quote one of them. These moves are flagged as a change of quoted host: the new rate matches a different host from the one we quoted at the start of the window. Rows marked Outlier listing involve a quoted rate far from the model's typical host rate.
