The shape of it

June seeded the threads. September filled them with answers.

Securities was reported inside "Other" before June 2026, so months before June are not tracked separately.

The runway

The roster behind the conversation nearly tripled since July.

Community adoption is 13% for this community: the share of its active students who are community members. That is the September figure, the latest the data team has delivered. Re-purchase reporting is paused while it is recalibrated against the community launch date.

Securities has crossed from seeding to conversation: 29 new threads drew 133 replies in September. The next move is to give a roster of 10,097 something to answer every week.

Securities was reported inside "Other" before June 2026, so no month before June is tracked separately and there is no 2025 baseline. Logged in Users is the Vanilla analytics Active Users figure, read from the Vanilla dashboard: 2,993 in September. It counts signed-in members and is not the same as GA active users, who are site visitors. Adoption shown is the September figure, the latest delivered; re-purchase is paused while it is recalibrated.
