Thank you to all who voted and participated in the exercise.

The right answer is: All 14; new 7; reuse 7; degree 50%

I'm sorry, I'm trying to understand what is going on here.
Is "Tridion Docs’ new Reuse Metrics" an actual existing new feature (in v15), or one still being proposed/explored/developed?
It seems like this is just a philosophical debate about the formula.
Are we voting on the formula?

Hello [mention:7b0a723c3e724114b8e0c21a920e8c71:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

Thank you for taking the time and read the blog.

Let me cover your questions one by one.

1. In our example and the way we calculate the reuse degree, we can calculate the relative reuse degree for Q1 and Q2 separately.

In case a reuse degree is required for a time interval that includes Q1 and Q2 then publications Z and Y will be included.

Could you please elaborate more regarding the second part of the question?

2. When new topics are added to Z and Y in Q2 this information will be logged and counted during the calculation process

Important to note that the timestamp when publication is created does not influence the calculation process, we are not aggregating data around this time stamp. A time when a topic is added to publication is important (and is being tracked) since this is the fact of reuse. These facts of reuse on a timeline can be calculated for a given time interval.

3. In our initial implementation indeed you will not be able to see which topics are reused. But this can be improved in future versions.

You have an option to see a system-wide reuse degree or filter by a Product that is metadata assigned to Publication. A Group of Products can represent a Business Unit.

I will cover UX capabilities in the following blogpost.

4. Content references as I explained require an effort to maintain them centrally that can be even higher than the value of reuse of the parts of the content.

The granularity of reuse that we chose is document level while for content reference it is only parts of the document.

Thank you [mention:e3f27caf19764868b794b2aa4eaf0f2e:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] for your detailed info! I have the following comments and questions:

Regarding the comparison example between Q1 and Q2, I think the reuse degree for Q2 needs to include publications Z and Y even though their topic status didn't change. Regarding #1 and #2, let's suppose that topic F (instead of topic A) is reused. It is still reused in Q2.
Is it captured if publications Z and Y (created in Q1) are updated for reuse in Q2?
I understand that the Reuse Metrics will not show which topics are reused but the system-wide reuse degree for all publications. Is this correct?
Content references are excluded, but our writers use them widely.
