*To help avoid confusion, consider using more descriptive labels to clarify how a target should be interpreted. For instance, instead of simply using the word “target,” you might use terms like “maximum” or “upper limit” to convey intent more precisely. You can also expand on the label to provide additional context—for example, “Target: below 90 days” makes the expectation immediately clear.
