    They probably did multiple queries per day at the beginning, found out it isn’t worth it and stopped using it …

      Maybe, maybe not we actually have no idea as the article doesn’t mention it. Nevertheless, doing infrequent queries is an equally likely scenario, given that people are really bad at changing their habits and existing workflows regardless of potential benefits.

      Thats complete speculation on your part though. It could equally be people hardly used it at first then started to use it more as they found ways it was helpful. Unless you see the data there’s no reason to say one or the other.

        Ok but if it was actually useful, wouldn’t people actively engage with it?

          Probably, my point was that you cant say if its increasing, decreasing or staying constant just from the number of times it’s been used. It could be that for most people its completely useless but for a small group its very usefull and they are using it more and more. Or as suggested it could be that everyone tried it a bit at first found it useless and stopped using it. Or that its kinda useful in very specific cases so it gets constantly used a tiny bit.

            What differece does it make if a small group finds it useful? They’re saying as an organization, there was no overall improvement in productivity. It’s such a weird point to make and to defend. They did an assessment and it didn’t deliver, that’s it.

              I’m not defending it or attacking it, mearly saying that

              Isnt supported by the information given. The GP gave a story they made up about how usage would be falling based on nothing at all, I gave two other alternate stories about how it could be either rising in usage or remaining flat to demonstrate that we cannot say anything about rate of change from a single average.
