Sadly, just three contributions in week 3 of 2019. This is below the average of recent months and is a contrast to recent weeks. On the flip-side, all three submissions scored well and their were no un-scored contributions, giving an excellent average score for the week.
A touch embarrassingly, it was the authors submission that was deemed as worthy of a 'staff pick'. And I suppose this is a good time to state that this review and decision is not made by the contributor, even though they are the Community Manager for the category. Contributions can be made by an utopian-io staff, and it makes sense that they would enjoy and like to contribute from time to time.
The contribution looks at Account Claims, and the story so far with regards to who has been claiming these 'tokens', and if they are being used by these accounts to create new accounts. The analysis notes that following the hard-fork, account claims were high due to the 'low' Resource Credit cost. Since then, the creation numbers have leveled off with a fairly consistent number of accounts being claimed on a regular basis by a select group. @steemmonsters shows up as an application using a good percentage of their claims, and the analysis concludes that it is this account, and other apps, that should be monitors for account creation via claims, in case they require help supporting a fast-growing user-base.
'lostmine27' expands on a previous SBD analysis and looks in more detail at the reduction in SBD supply over recent months. The 'haircut' zone has recently been left, and SBDs are now being printed again. The analyst notes:
If the increase in SBD supply balance can not be supported by the rise in STEEM prices, there is also the possibility that the SBD may hit the upper limit of the debt ratio again.
'paulag' takes a quarterly review of Steem 'churn rates' and compares Steem against a host of other social media platforms. All accounts are assessed, and then only those that have at least produced one post. The analysis states that there are a number of accounts that have not posted, but are 'active' as noted by the JSON field updates, via @steemmonsters, etc. I hope that these accounts will be included in the 'active' accounts in future. The work also concludes that HF 20 occurred during the time-frame of the analysis, and this even likely had an effect on the data - increasing churn for the period.
Overall, a good week with the scores, but lacking in numbers.

That's all for this week, thank you for your time.

Hello, thanks for providing an overview of the Analysis category. The report is well-written and informative. I like how you give a summary of every submitted contribution to the category. Despite the fewer contributions, It's nice that the submitted works are of great quality.
Please note that while the CM hasn't changed the footer, I am not scoring #iamutopian posts based on the questionnaire. They have their own metric, and that will be the case until we go live with the new guidelines and new questionnaire, which will be comprehensive enough to reflect these types of posts.
Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.

Hi @tykee
Thanks for the review. Yes a quiet week compared to recently, but that allows me the opportunity to focus more on each submission and give it a little write-up.
Good quality in small numbers, I guess you can't have it all!
Cheers

Absolutely!
