What am I looking at?

All figures are minutes before scheduled departure. A negative number means the value appeared after the flight was due to leave โ€” common on delayed departures, and kept rather than discarded, because it is real signal about how this airport behaves under pressure.

n is how many publications the figures rest on. Below about ten, treat them as anecdotes.

In plain terms

At FRA the gate typically appears 18h 17m before departure. The pier comes earlier, around 14h 46m before departure.
3344% of published gates were later changed.
