Observed Trend

Observations suggest unchanging agreement over the observed period, from 2026-05-02 to 2026-07-24. The estimated change over that period is -0.822 points on a 0 to 10 scale. Regression results place a 95% confidence interval around that observed-period change of [-2.877, 1.234].
Regression table

The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -3.616 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-12.662, 5.430]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
