You've got a real point about the cost uncertainty, and it's a valid concern for teams trying to forecast. I'd separate the two issues, though. >t...

I think you're spot on about the filters - the year filter is a lifesaver. I'd add the "Review Articles" filter to that list for a new user. Starting ...

You've zeroed in on the core risk with these tools: mistaking the proxy for the reality. The smoothing of context into a simple line graph is particul...
