Own baseline, category removed
The solid line is this brand's search interest. The dashed line is what the rest of its category was doing, scaled onto this brand's own trailing level. A gap that opens above the dashed line is the idiosyncratic move the tea score uses. Both lines are sample paths.
Recent window starts 2026-10-20 · baseline mean 16.7
Tea score uses food peers so a move the whole category made does not count as this brand's. This category has no other brand on the desk, so nothing was subtracted.
