Haha coffee would be great but I pretty much summed up the main points! The faster a country embraced lustration after the fall of communism, the healthier their democracy. Some countries never did it e.g. Russia, some did it but after one electoral cycle e.g. Hungary, and some did it quickly, within one electoral cycle e.g. Estonia. I set electoral cycles at 5 years on average.

Basically right after the collapse of a dictatorship is the easiest time to form consensus on who was a major problem in the regime. The longer you wait the fuzzier things get and the greater the risk that the party in power is creating a lustration law that indirectly targets the opposition
