Thanks! There are three different calculations used to determine the trending value:

Average Trend – This is calculated by taking the percentage change between consecutive months and averaging these values. It gives a general sense of how skill mentions increasing or decreasing over time.

Median Trend – The percentage changes between months are sorted, and the median value is taken. This reduces the impact of extreme fluctuations and provides a more stable measure of growth.

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) Trend – This is calculated by comparing the first and last month's skill mentions count, then applying the CAGR formula to estimate a steady growth rate over the observed period. This measures long-term trends rather than month-to-month volatility.

If there are fewer than three months of data, trends are marked as "N/A" due to insufficient data for meaningful analysis.
