Make explicit that timeframes are in GMT #211

What is the problem you are seeing? Please describe.

It is not clear what timezone is used for start and end of months, which matters for Awario scoring.

How is this problem misaligned with goals of app mining?

It can be confusing and lead to unhappy participants that get less scores on technicalities.

What is the explicit recommendation you’re looking to propose?

Clearly state that GMT timezone applies, perhaps even with a link to timezone conversion.

What is the dry run period (if any)

None. @cuevasm has already committed to implement it in private communication so this is just for the record.

Describe your long term considerations in proposing this change. Please include the ways you can predict this recommendation could go wrong and possible ways mitigate.

Thanks, the only action here is to update the docs and I've already created an issue in our docs repo.
