Exact published metrics for r/alzheimers. Rising and Falling compare the current seven-day window 2026-09-22 → 2026-09-28 with the previous seven days 2026-09-15 → 2026-09-21 ( complete UTC days; 988 current vs 707 comparison analyzed records). Signals appear only with at least 5 distinct posts or comments behind them — the current window for Rising, the comparison window for Falling; the CSV export still contains the complete published metric set. Most discussed uses the current analysis lookback (2026-08-30 → 2026-09-29) — frequency, never trending.
