That's not what has been happening though. It's by walk, not loops.
Then your office has been implementing it incorrectly.
The DTS releases or defers the mail by walk.

Which is the problem with the 2 sides being unbalanced. It's not efficient for say the driver to have to move to the 2nd loop of walk 1 whilst the partner is delivering loop 1. Also that's not how RM see this as part of DM26. It's passenger doing loop 1 of walk 1 whilst driver doing loop 1 of walk 2 at the same time.

You’ve got it all completely wrong. Were you doing park and loop before the changes?

DM26 - 4 heavy bags, 4 light bags for each individual in the pod. I get the driver's bags may not be balanced to allow the driver to do the oversize. Don't forget the only time the vehicle is used to deliver packets is when they are oversize or its not practical to do it any other way. If the duty you are on did not complete before DM26 it should either donate delivery points to a non-pod singleton or it should become a non-pod singleton.

How is that determined? Over a threshold of N days within the last year as recorded on the DODR?

The agreement says it uses the 2025 base data. Obviously you'll need someone who can remember if the duty completed prior to the 2022 lapsing plan.
