One-liner

Describe what this insight is in a single sentence. This is the description that appears in ThinkUp's insights list, so phrase it like the others are. Current insights single sentences are:

  • Post activity spikes for the past 7, 30, and 365 days.
  • How often you referred to yourself ("I", "me", "myself", "my") in the past week.
  • How many more users a message has reached due to your reshare or retweet.

Audience for the insight

Which networks, if any, are excluded from this insight?

Does this insight serve users with less or more activity?

First-run: does this insight show up on a user's first crawl?

How often this insight runs

  • Always (triggered by a data event, check the data and update insight on every crawl)
  • Daily (check the data once a day, don't regenerate every crawl)
  • Weekly on a fixed day (specify day of week per network to space these out)
  • Monthly on a fixed day with bonus magic day within first 2 weeks of use (specify day of month per network to space these out)
  • Annual on a fixed date (specify day of year)

Headline

Include multiple variations, use third person and variables for localized network terminology.

  • Does the insight count replies as well as non-replies?
  • Are there baseline comparisons? What is the logic around the comparison?
  • Are there special copy cases? (for example, if the baseline comparison matches)
