A Storyline **insight** brings related evidence into a finding you can investigate. Its history connects the finding across reporting waves, so you can distinguish a new development from a recurring pattern. Open **Insights**, choose the period you want to examine, and open a finding. Accounts with **Highlights** and **Explore** can also reach insight details from findings shown in those views. ## How insights are generated Conveo analyzes the wave's data to identify **signals**: patterns in answers, groups, or changes over time. Related evidence is synthesized into insights. Conveo then compares findings with earlier waves to maintain their histories. An insight can include a summary, supporting signals and participant evidence, and follow-up actions. Availability depends on the data and completed analysis. A missing finding does not prove that an issue is absent from the population. ## Why Storyline insights are different Lifecycle labels describe how a finding relates to its history: | Status | Meaning | | -------------- | ------------------------------------- | | **Emerging** | A new finding in the tracked history. | | **Ongoing** | The finding continues. | | **Escalating** | The finding is becoming stronger. | | **Evolving** | The finding changes in character. | | **Reversed** | The finding changes direction. | | **Dormant** | The finding has gone quiet. | | **Ended** | The tracked finding has ended. | Related histories can merge or split. Those relationships are recorded in the history rather than appearing as separate lifecycle labels. Treat these labels as AI-supported interpretations of the observed evidence. **Ongoing** does not establish a universal truth, and **Ended** does not guarantee that a topic will never recur. ## Reading an insight's thread Open **Insight over time** on an insight to examine how the finding developed. Historical wave views show the finding for that period, which can differ from the current interpretation. Actions are paused when viewing a historical snapshot. Return to the current finding to create an output or act on a suggested next step. Compare the period and audience behind each observation. Changes in who participated, the questions asked, or the way answers were coded can affect a trend. The insight board may surface warnings about sample-composition changes or a measurement reset; read those caveats before comparing waves. ## Signals: the evidence underneath Inspect the supporting signals and participant evidence before relying on a summary. Ask: * Which answers or groups support the finding? * How much data is available, and is a subgroup small? * Does the evidence describe a relationship, or support the stronger conclusion being proposed? * Could changed recruitment or measurement explain the difference? AI-generated explanations can be incomplete or mistaken. Participant quotes help establish what someone said; they do not by themselves establish how common a view is. Use the [dashboard](/docs/storylines/dashboard-and-metrics) to inspect counts and coverage, and [Talk to your data](/docs/interview-data/talk-to-your-data) for follow-up analysis. ## Organize recurring interests Use [insight themes](/docs/storylines/insight-themes) to save a topic and find its matching insights across chapters. Themes classify findings; they are separate from filtering the participant population. ## Suggested next steps Current insight details offer **Create report**, **Create slide deck**, and an action to include the insight in the next chapter report. Creating a report or deck opens a Talk to your Data conversation with a prepared request; review the generated output before sharing it. Additional suggestions may ask a follow-up question or add a measure to the dashboard. Suggestions depend on the finding and may be absent. Flagging an insight for the next report does not rewrite an already generated report. See [Reports](/docs/insights-and-reports/reports) and [Slides](/docs/insights-and-reports/slides) for working with those outputs.
