+0.001

emily is away Velocity, last 14 days: rising across 14 days, 0.00 to 0.00 (low -0.00, high 0.00).

Confidence 60%

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. Here, topic views and ratings had a measurable acceleration on 2026-10-10. Comments did not. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 14 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.

No ordering to read here.

Across this window, topic views moved by 236, under its floor of 500; ratings moved by 2, under its floor of 20. Timing two counters against each other needs both of them to have risen, by more than the floor this page sets for that counter so a handful of events cannot read as an ordering, and to have stayed between their own start and end values — a counter that went past one of those and came back has no share of its change to time. The shapes are drawn; which of them moved first is not claimed.

Lead and lag for emily is away, 30 daysLead and lag over 30 days, 2026-09-11 to 2026-10-10, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. No ordering to read here. Topic views: 10,328 to 10,564, up 236, the change came at a steady pace. Ratings: 986 to 988, up 2, most of that change came late in the window.100%50%0%Sep 11Oct 10Topic viewsRatings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 30 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.

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.
