Stories the day merged
One column is one day: the stories that day folded behind another because we read them as the same story. The dot is the biggest group that day, counting the one we kept.
Stories merged against stories kept apart.

42 stories were folded into another over these 14 days. The biggest group held 4 stories, on 17 Oct. That is 1% of the 4,677 stories these 14 days published.
Where the merge line sits
The solid line is the nightly calculation's final score for grouping two stories as one, after limits on its change. The dotted line is the proposed score before those limits. The shaded band shows how far the calculated line was allowed to fall each day. A build may have used a different line. The tinted strip shows the part of the score range inside this plot for 4 pairs a person marked as two stories. Their scores run from 0.9343 to 0.9407. If used to group stories, a calculated line inside this strip would clear the score threshold for at least one of those pairs. This does not show that a build grouped them.
Each calculated line against its proposal and the line the newest day used.

Whether the judge agrees with itself
Every pair is read twice, with the two summaries swapped. A "disagreed" dot shows how often a pair's two readings disagreed. A "could not tell" dot shows how often the pairs whose two readings agreed could not tell. When a day's rate is past its own dashed mark, the run does not move the merge line that day.
The judge's two readings against each other, and each rate against its own limit.

What the record still needs

The record has 64 readings, 12 days, and 150 pairs above the line; it needs at least 200 readings, 10 days, and 30 pairs above the line. No fitted line was returned for these 14 days.
What the judge said about the line
Every judged pair, split by whether its score cleared the line the newest day was built with and by what the judge said about it.
Pairs judged one story against pairs judged two stories, split at the merge line.

206 pairs judged one story
The line would let a pair in the second cell through, and where the group forms it is a story the reader never sees. A pair in the cell below it is one the reader sees twice.
2.7% of the pairs above the line were called two stories. The fit aims for 3.0%.

The pairs a person marked apart
Every pair somebody read as two different stories sets a floor the merge line has to stay above. The dots are those pairs, the rule is the line, and the tinted zone is as far as the line may fall in one day.
Each hand-marked pair's score against the merge line.

0.0007 below the closest pair a person marked as two stories
One day's legal fall is up to 0.010, so 3 more marks are inside tomorrow's reach and 4 of 4 would be on the wrong side the day after.

Point at a dot, an edge chip or the strip below them to read it. Left and Right step through them, Escape returns to the first.
The line is 0.0007 BELOW a pair a person marked as two stories, so it would merge them. 1 hand-marked pair is on the wrong side of it.
196 pairs were read as one story, running 0.7316 to 0.9914. 117 of them score below the line, so the reader would see those stories twice.
Scored at 1 on the cosine, the weight on the newest fitted day, 2026-10-17.
