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 2026-05-01 to 2026-09-09. The estimated change over that period is -0.395 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-1.136, 0.347].Regression table
The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -1.101 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-3.169, 0.967]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
