INTERPRETATION & INSIGHTS
──────────────────────────
Your revenue shows exceptionally strong, statistically significant
growth of 28.4% annually. This is not random variation - it’s a
genuine upward trajectory with very high confidence (99.9%).

The trend strengthened dramatically in February 2024, more than
doubling the growth rate from 18% to 41% per year. This acceleration
has sustained for 11 months, suggesting a fundamental improvement
in business fundamentals rather than a temporary spike.

With R² of 0.84, the trend explains most of the revenue variation.
The remaining 16% is primarily seasonal patterns (Q4 boost, Q1 dip)
which are predictable and consistent year-over-year.

Current performance (December 2024) is tracking above both the
trend line and seasonal expectations, indicating healthy momentum.
