Contours showing the fraction of kilonovae detected as a function of start time and depth for observing Strategies 1 and 3 and all three filters when a pre-existing template is not available. We first note that i- and z-band observations in this scenario must be ∼1 mag deeper to achieve detection rates comparable to when a pre-existing template is available.
