There’s a huge mythology apparently in the groups that the DSPs frequently discuss these sorts of things around exactly the “right amount” you should tweak the routes, because apparently the changes are fed back into the model and can impact in strange ways what it will spit out in the future. A lot of managers swear if you take too heavy of a hand in making changes it will screw up the model and you get worse and worse routes each morning. There is apparently an art form to making these tweaks each morning that gently optimizes the routes in a way that doesn’t perturb the model. I couldn’t tell if this was just mysticism surrounding the black box algorithm or if the manual route changes are actually being saved and perhaps being over-fit in subsequent runs of the route solver.
