The question comes first
How does activity change over a year? This starter article uses an invented monthly series to demonstrate the publishing format. It is not a CO³ Labs result, a live feed, or a measurement of real users.
A useful analysis gives the reader a question, a figure, an interpretation, and enough context to challenge the conclusion. The notebook supports that story; it does not have to be the story itself.
Monthly activity
What the figure can tell us
In this constructed series, activity ends higher than it starts and has a small dip midway through the year. The shorter window makes recent changes easier to inspect.
Those observations describe the example. They do not explain a cause. A real post would identify the data source, collection method, missing values, and any changes in how activity was measured.
The reproducible bit

monthly = [120, 145, 138, 182, 205, 194, 238, 260, 247, 302, 325, 348]
change = (monthly[-1] / monthly[0] - 1) * 100
print(f"Change across the example: {change:.1f}%")Limitations are part of the result
Twelve invented observations cannot establish seasonality, statistical significance, or a causal effect. The percentage calculation is descriptive only.
For a real analysis, publish the input or a documented retrieval method, preserve the environment requirements, and include the steps that produce the chart. Avoid committing credentials or restricted datasets.
