This examiner grants 67% of resolved cases

Analysis

Shin Lee, in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2695, has only 3 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 66.7 percent. A notable figure is the 100.0 percent interview lift, which suggests that in this very small sample, interviews were perfectly correlated with successful outcomes.

The median days to allowance is 747. This timeline applies to the resolved cases currently in the data. While the 66.7 percent allowance rate is based on a limited number of outcomes, the 100.0 percent interview lift highlights the potential impact of direct communication.

In Art Unit 2695, the 747 median days to allowance is the primary speed metric. The allowance rate and interview lift are derived from just 3 resolved cases, so practitioners should view these as preliminary indicators. The lift is particularly striking even within such a small data set.
