All-Time Distribution
Comparison to Other Items

Qualifying items have 100 or more total observations. Higher means indicate more agreement and therefore a higher rank.
Monthly Trend
Observed Trend
Observations suggest unchanging agreement over the observed period, from 2026-05-12 to 2026-08-28. The estimated change over that period is -0.071 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-0.627, 0.485].Regression table
The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -0.241 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-2.121, 1.640]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
