Does a NOT IN SERVICE layover still count as a served stop?

A five-level Layover-Blind Maturity Model scored across 48 suburban depots

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement scores 48 suburban depots against a five-level Layover-Blind Maturity Model of what a layover bus's destination blind shows while the driver eats. Forty-one of 48 depots sit at Level 3 (Declared: NOT IN SERVICE); Review Cadence Observatory defers any depot below Level 4, with no ordinary override, and after that gate is tabled drivers roll the next route on during layover and passengers board a bus that is not going anywhere.
