Analysis

STEVENSON, ANDRE C is assigned to Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2812. His profile records 883 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 89.6%. The interview lift is 7.2%, and the median time to allowance is 833 days. The case history shows a strong allowance outcome, while the limited interview measure suggests that interviews are not the principal distinguishing feature of the record.
