Analysis

Michael Mario Sofroniou is assigned to Art Unit 2661 in Tech Center 3700. The profile includes 3 resolved cases, all of which resulted in an allowance, yielding a 100.0% allowance rate. The median days to allowance for these resolutions is 836.

The interview lift is 0.0%, suggesting that interviews have not yet demonstrated a statistical impact on outcomes for this examiner. With only 3 resolved cases, the data provides a limited window into the examiner's long-term habits, though the initial results show a perfect allowance record within a reasonable timeframe. Practitioners should view the 100.0% rate as a preliminary indicator while the examiner builds a larger caseload beyond these 3 cases.
