This score is primarily determined by how much each event overlaps with the defined comparison periods.Details explanations on the interest score are available on this page

  • Additionally, in the web app, you can enable AI-enhanced comments to qualitatively assess the connection between events and numbers. The interest score is passed to your selected LLM to help determine which events are most relevant to surface.
