Over the past two weeks, we have had an excellent standard and variation of contributions to the Analysis category at utopian-io and two of the 6 contributions earned a Staff Pick. Average scores above 80 for both weeks is an excellent result and shows a good level of understanding of what is required for the category.
Analyses of utopian-io are always respected, and 'miniature-tiger' has produced a couple of excellent monthly reports in the past couple of weeks, which discuss the voting weight towards each category as well as the timing of the votes.
'jayplayco' and 'dalz' looked at the Steemhunt and Steem-ua applications - the rise in the applications over the past year has provided a broadening range of analysis topics, which is a positive for the category.
'lostmine27's analyses focused a bit closer to home with a look at Steem Backed/based Dollar and the Reputation system on Steem.
The presentation quality, level of detail, and conclusions of all the reports provided the reviewers with interesting and enjoyable tasks in assessing the contributions - long may this continue!
