Contours showing the fraction of kilonovae detected as a function of start time and depth for observing Strategies 2 and 4 and all three filters when a pre-existing template is available. We note that the early-time drop in efficiency for z-band utilizing Strategy 2 is the result of the initial observations occurring before the light curve has brightened above the limiting magnitude.
