When to skip or lighten it

Pattern Definition:Frequently asked questions
What metrics matter for outputs?
Accept rate, copy, regenerate, thumbs, time-to-first-good-output, and cost per accepted result.
User vs admin views?
Users see their patterns. Admins see aggregates, not message bodies unless policy allows.
Output analytics vs output sharing?
Analytics measures use. Sharing distributes content to others.
