The "Predictions" report is divided into tabs—Breakdown, Entities, Matches, and Engagement—each offering unique insights. Understanding this data helps you:
- Identify Trends: Recognize patterns in prediction activity.

Matches Tab: Understanding Match-Level Engagement

Tips:

Engagement Tab: Measuring User Interaction
Offers a detailed overview of how predictions drive user engagement, segmented by the number of predictions made: at least 1, 5, 10, 50, and 100 predictions. This segmentation helps you understand different levels of user commitment and engagement on your platform.
Tips:
- Prediction Volume Analysis: Evaluate how engagement varies across different prediction thresholds. For example, users making at least 50 or 100 predictions might represent your most dedicated audience, offering insights into the behaviors and preferences of your most engaged users.
- Correlation Analysis: Identify how prediction activity correlates with overall user engagement. A strong link suggests that predictions are a significant driver of interaction, offering insights into what keeps users engaged.
- Enhance Popular Features: Focus on expanding features that generate high engagement. For example, if certain game types like Match Quiz or Top X are particularly engaging, consider introducing more of these games during periods of low engagement. Alternatively, capitalize on high-engagement periods by promoting these popular games to maximize user interaction.
- Track Retention: Monitor engagement after key events to assess long-term impact. This helps in determining the effectiveness of your strategies and in making informed decisions for future planning.
3. Applying Insights to Your Strategy
Use the data to refine your approach:
