How many false positives?
1 comments

Ty for the question.

The system is new (built last week), so I don't have reliable production data on false positive rate yet.

Right now my current detection logic is basically: - 25%+ CCU growth vs 7-day baseline - YouTube video mentioning game within 48h - Keyword match (currently using regex and exploring other methods)

If I have to guess where the false positives are going to come from: - YouTuber plays game (drives CCU) but doesn't mention new mechanic - CCU (concurrent users) spike from external event (streamer or holidays) - Generic update videos that don't indicate mechanic type

Next step is running it for 30 days and tracking precision/recall. More of that in the GitHub itself.

Appreciate the question, since it's the main thing I need to validate.
