A worked distinction
A low displayed bridge fee can be outweighed by an expensive destination conversion or a long delay during which a price hedge remains open. Treat any waiting-cost estimate as a scenario, not a promised completion time.
What to verify in your own analysis
Verify the actual route and token representation. Do not infer bridge solvency, withdrawal availability or security from a cost comparison.
Write down the market or protocol identifier, units, observation window and data source before comparing outputs. Keep unavailable values distinct from zero. Capture a baseline and change one assumption at a time so the resulting difference can be explained.
