Some possibilities off the top of my head:
1). Soak time clock starts when the open time trip is flagged as SS/Premium.
2.). Soak time clock starts when company decides to designate but that designation may not be known to the pilots at time of designation.
3.) Soak time is time the trip has to hang out in open time as a WS before being designated SS/Premium.
4.) Some other parameter I haven’t yet thought of or exception note not yet written.
…(or 23M7)

I think most everyone is assuming 1 but there isn’t anything tying it down to that in the language released so far.

The language matters and this language we don’t yet have.
