Motivation:
The manuscript spent almost three months under editorial assessment before being sent for peer review, making the overall process unusually slow. Although rejection after review is a normal editorial outcome, the lengthy initial editorial stage significantly increased the time before a decision was reached.

Motivation:
Typical experience, with longer gaps in between; we were surprised that the editor wanted to check the minor revisions at the end with the reviewers, but we're through.
