Biggest change in hit rate (percentage points), Oct 22–Oct 28 vs Oct 15–Oct 21 — settled launches only (older than 48h), so this lags launches by ~2 days. Only statistically significant changes are listed: 100+ settled launches in both windows and a two-proportion test with |z| ≥ 2. Hit rate = share of launches with 10+ votes (PH) / points (HN), counted only once a launch is 48h old. Click a column header to sort.
