Jev catches changes in an analytics test, but false alarms matter
Amplitude reports a synthetic analytics benchmark. Strong recall alone does not prove reliable production analysis.
Why it matters
A model can find the important changes yet create extra work by flagging harmless charts. Compare both missed changes and false alarms.
Try this
Use a small set of real charts labelled by an analyst. Hide the labels from the model, then compare its results with those labels.
Keep in mind
Amplitude is the vendor reporting this synthetic benchmark. Its results do not establish performance for every product or dataset.
