The Sketchbook

Open on itch.io

Velocity

-1.000

The Sketchbook Velocity, last 14 days: flat across 3 days, -1.00 to -1.00 (low -1.00, high -1.00).

Confidence 6%

Confidence is the share of Velocity’s four components that could be measured for this game, scaled down again when there is less than a fortnight to measure over. None of its three counters had a measurable acceleration. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 0 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.

Which counter moved first

Lead and lag

8 days

Not enough of the ladder to compare.

Only ratings could be plotted, so there is no second counter to compare the timing against.

Lead and lag for The Sketchbook, 8 daysLead and lag over 8 days, 2026-10-03 to 2026-10-10, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Not enough of the ladder to compare. Ratings: 27 throughout, no change at all.100%50%0%Oct 3Oct 10Ratings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 8 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below.

The numbers behind the chart

The counter as we recorded it that day, and beside it the share of the window’s change it had reached — the value the chart plots.

A blank change is not a zero: the scoring pass refuses a window whose nearest observation is too stale to compare, rather than differencing two points that are not seven days apart.
