All-Time Distribution
Comparison to Other Items

Monthly Trend
Observed Trend
Observations suggest unchanging agreement over the observed period, from 2026-07-05 to 2026-08-27. The estimated change over that period is -0.629 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-1.757, 0.499].Regression table
The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -4.333 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-12.108, 3.441]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
