I have a related question on this subject - so I prefer to continue in this thread.
Like Leon we now use AveragePosition for analysis, and we consider to shift to these Prominence Metrics too. But our goal is long term analysis. How far in the past do these metrics go? I know we can take an old account (say before 2005) and start reading the metris, and determine when reasonable data appears. But... quite often new features are rolled out on different dates, for instance by country, or first for large accounts. So my question is, what is the oldest date we can get reliable prominence metrics? For instance, 1-1-2019? Earlier? Thanks!
