  1. Why does one source show 'stale' in Feed status while the rest are fresh?
    Home Feedback· MobileMummyFan·· post #8

    Can confirm, I have never seen that time on my phone. Thanks for logging it.

    It does on wider screens. On phones that time gets squeezed out, which is not great. Logged.

    Clear. Could the popup show the time of the last successful read right next to 'stale'? Then nobody has to ask.

    That is exactly what I needed. Marking solved. Appreciate the plain answer.

    Good eyes, and nothing is broken. Box office figures arrive in batches, not continuously, so between batches our reader checks every 15 minutes, finds nothing new, and after a while the popup honestly…

    Also want to know whether the HXI is calculated with old numbers when that happens. If the gauge is running on yesterday's box office, I would like a little asterisk.

    Guessing here, but box office numbers do not move every 15 minutes in the real world. Most of it lands in batches.

    Data question. In the Feed status popup, the box office line has said stale since this morning, while Reddit, YouTube and news all show fresh reads every 15 minutes. Is that on my end or yours, and do…

  9. Request: can the Oracle explain its $COSM call? The citations confused me
    The Oracle Pit· MothmanMondaysFan·· post #8

    Flagged the creature feature one. Marking this answered. Thanks all, and thanks to the lighthouse people.

    The Oracle Pit· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #7

    Correct, and a limit we should state more clearly on the Method page. Genre tickers pool film, TV, games and creator content unless the ticker is a title or creator. I will add a line about it.

  11. Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?
    Home Feedback· BoxOfficeBaronPress·· post #7

    Useful thread. The blanks in signal had me thinking something was broken.

  12. Request: can the Oracle explain its $COSM call? The citations confused me
    The Oracle Pit· ControllerCryptFan·· post #6

    The game news item is legit though. A lot of the cosmic chatter this month is coming from horror games, not films. Games and film share a genre bucket here, so that bleeds in.

    This should be printed on the Summary.

    Reasonable. Logged it. Until then the Method page is the source of truth.

  15. Do premium formats actually help horror, or is that just for blockbusters?
    Box Office Floor· CreakyFloorboardFan·· post #8

    Haunted houses in a premium sound room are a religious experience. Every creak has a direction.

  16. Request: can the Oracle explain its $COSM call? The citations confused me
    The Oracle Pit· MothmanMondaysFan·· post #4

    Tried Ask The Exchange. It said the call is "a shrug with footnotes". Which is honestly a relief.

  17. Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?
    Home Feedback· SpreadsheetSpecterFan·· post #5

    Perfect, that explains the blanks. Marking this solved. Would a short column glossary on the Export panel itself be possible? One line per field.

  18. Request: can the Oracle explain its $COSM call? The citations confused me
    The Oracle Pit· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #3

    Here is the plain reading. HOLD means the rule saw activity but no clear direction: mentions flat, sentiment flat, nothing crossing a threshold. The citations are the rows that contributed the most to…

    Well. At least my cat's chart is fine.

  20. Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?
    Home Feedback· SignalWardenStaffMod·· post #3

    Good questions. delta is the change versus the previous read, so it is a 15 minute change, not a daily one. If you want a daily number, take two exports a day apart and subtract. signal is the Oracle …

    Lighthouse photos are cosmic horror, spiritually. But I agree the mix is strange.

  22. Request: can the Oracle explain its $COSM call? The citations confused me
    The Oracle Pit· MothmanMondaysFan·· post #1

    The Oracle has a HOLD call on $COSM at conviction 54 and I cannot figure out why. The citations include a video about a creature feature, a news item about a game, and a Reddit thread that is mostly p…

    I assumed delta was since yesterday and have been drawing charts on that basis for two weeks. Following with mild dread.

  24. Export question: what do the heat, delta and signal columns mean?
    Home Feedback· SpreadsheetSpecterFan·· post #1

    Quick one about Export. My CSV has columns called heat, delta and signal. Is delta the change since the last 15 minute read or since yesterday? And is signal the Oracle's call strength or something el…

    Micro budget producer view: premium formats are not a thing I will ever get to worry about. My format is 'the theater that said yes'.
