01What it is

The What Gyrium knows panel on the dashboard has two charts, Facts over time and Assets over time. Each is a running total: how many facts, and how many assets, Gyrium held at each moment. Above them, Period chooses how far back both charts look, from All time to 1 day.

02Why it matters

A base that is two weeks old used to show one straight line between two weeks, which said nothing about how it was built. Now the line shows the real steps: the day a large source was read, the slow additions after it, the hour a batch of photos arrived. A shorter period answers a plainer question: what has Gyrium learned this week, or today?

03How it works

Every fact and asset carries the moment it arrived. Gyrium counts them in small slices of time (hours for the last two days, days for the last year, weeks before that) and the charts add those up for the period you chose. The line for a period starts at the count Gyrium already held when the period began, and it always ends at now on the same number as the count above the charts.

The size of each step follows the period: hours for 1 day, days for 1 week and 1 month, weeks for 3 months to 1 year. All time picks its own: days for a base a few months old, weeks or months for an older one. For All time the chart is drawn from zero; for a shorter period it is drawn from where the period started, and that starting number sits at the foot of the chart, so a week's growth on a large base stays visible.

When your base is younger than the period you chose, the chart starts at the first fact or asset that arrived, so 1 year on a two-month-old base shows those two months. A date in the middle of the axis helps place a step.

The line is today's knowledge by when it arrived. A fact replaced by a newer one, or archived, is not in it, so the line never dips.

04How to use it
  1. Open the dashboard and find What Gyrium knows.
  2. Under the counts, choose a Period: All time, 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month, 1 week or 1 day. Both charts change together.
  3. Point at a chart (or focus it and use the arrow keys) to read the count at any moment.
  4. Gyrium remembers your choice in this browser, so the dashboard opens on the same period next time.

The same panel, with the same choice, appears for a group or an offering on Our offer and on a workspace's What Gyrium knows tab, counting only what belongs there.

05Q&A
Why are facts and assets in two separate charts?

The two totals differ by an order of magnitude; on one chart the assets line would lie flat.

Can I see what a source added?

The chart shows the step on the day or hour it was read. Which facts it gave you is on Sources.

06Limits & not-yet

The line shows today's knowledge by when it arrived. It is no historical headcount: a fact that was live last month and replaced since is not in last month's point. The chosen period is remembered per browser; another device starts on All time.
