Thanks Tomasz; great feedback! In order:

* yeah, top percentiles were a heavily-requested thing so I built it
in from the get-go. Similarly, mean/median so we have some ability to
avoid distorting the results when the distribution changes.
* The 3 days data thing is a known -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T100056 - and is next on my to-do
list for bugfixes :).
* Glad you like the interface! It's actually functional on mobile, too :D.
* Sample rate is crucial, yep. I'm reaching out to the authors of the
relevant EL schemas to find out how each was handled.
* Sessions < results opened makes sense in the event that users didn't
find what they wanted and went back to try again, but I'm not sure how
"session" is calculated; this is again something we lack transparency
around :(. Dan? You're the apps wizard.

In supporting this: probably nothing at the moment although Nik/Kevin
chipping in on the relevant phabricator ticket
(https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99762 ) to validate how much of a
PITA the idea of a unified schema and the associated implementations
are, would be good.

I'm sort of shocked to hear "we're supposed to be presenting this data
at the next metrics meeting": in the future if there are instances
where data is going to be up for public scrutiny, would it be possible
to explicitly associate time for that? My goal is to get us to the
point where our data is reliable all, or at least, most of the time,
and for a fragment of one person's time over two weeks, I think
progress on that is pretty fantastic. But prepping data for that kind
of event does change the priorities and what tasks should be worked
on.

If we want to present data, generally speaking, let's discuss what we
can show off. If we want to present the dashboards I'll put my all
into making the data at least something where we know the
deficiencies, if not something where we consider the deficiencies
tolerable.
