Change the Formality

by angellim

Open on itch.io

Velocity

-1.000

Change the Formality 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

9 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 Change the Formality, 9 daysLead and lag over 9 days, 2026-10-02 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 2Oct 10Ratings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 9 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.
