Support knowledge deflection estimate calculator

Calculate observed contact-free completions and contact-free completions / all help sessions with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use observed contact-free completions and contact-free completions / all help sessions to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Observed contact-free completions

Successful completions−assisted contacts following those completions.

Contact-free completions / all help sessions (%)

Contact-free completions/help sessions×100.

Avoided contacts under supplied attribution assumption

Contact-free completions×assumed truly avoided share; this is not causal attribution learned from observations.

Scenario baseline minus attributed avoided contacts

Baseline−attributed avoided contacts; reject assumptions implying a negative contact baseline.

Symbols and units
a
Help sessions
b
Sessions with supplied successful completion
c
Those completions followed by an assisted contact
d
Assumed truly avoided-contact share of contact-free completions (%)
e
Baseline assisted contacts for scenario

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Keeps observed completion/contact records separate from a user-supplied causal assumption. Contact-free completion alone is not proof that an assisted contact was avoided.
