SkieWhat is intervention memory and how does the before and after view work?
Intervention memory lets you record what you changed and when, then shows the figures before and after it. The wording is careful: it says what moved and by how much, but never claims the change caused it. Other things may have changed at the same time, and you stay in charge of the conclusion.
Administrators change things all the time: a new Wi-Fi profile, a revised app list, a stricter night schedule, a charging routine. A month later nobody remembers exactly when, or whether it helped. Intervention memory keeps that record next to the data.
You note an intervention against a group with a date. Insights then lines up the daily snapshots from before that date with those after it and shows the difference for the figures that matter, such as silent share, average compliance or open events per device. The result is worded as before and after. For example, it will show that silent share was at one level in the weeks before and at another level in the weeks after.
It never says the change caused the difference. A holiday, an exam week, a new batch of devices or a network fix could all have moved the same line. Skie records what happened, and leaves the explanation to the person who knows the school. That is why the wording stays at before and after, and why the pattern notes read as observations.
The value is practical memory. When a new admin asks why the hostel has a different schedule, there is a dated entry. When you review a term, you can see which of your actions were followed by a visible change and which were not, and repeat the first kind.
It depends on the daily record, so see daily snapshots. Practical tip: change one thing at a time in a group where you can, so the before and after has a fair chance of meaning something.
