An explanation from acunning40 around the data presented here, from her post in the All Kind of Statistics forum thread: As I understand it the page just adds up how many distinct projects entered a given state during a given time period. (The last 2 columns are just the results of subtraction involving the first 3 columns.) It's not counting how many projects actually were in that state, which means the numbers can be skewed in various ways by certain squirrel activites. For instance, if a project skips P3 it normally enters P3_waiting (adding it to the "queued" column) but it never releases into the round or completes it, so it will end up adding one to the "Queue Growth" even though it's no longer in the queue. As another example, BEGIN and P3 qual projects are split for proofing and then merged while waiting for F2. For one that was split into 4 parts, 4 projects would enter the F2 queue but only 1 would release. As with round skips, they'll add to the "Queue Growth" number on the noncvs page because it's just a tally of how many projects entered each state.

• F2 Wait Time: Average Days Waiting for project to be released into F2.
  • Period: Daily.
