The chart includes:

1. **Active experiences**\
   The count of experiences currently running in your application.

> **Question: What does the comparison over the last period mean?**
>
> It represents the growth or decline of the metric compared to the previous period.
>
> The *last period* refers to the date filter you selected. For example, if the filter is set to the **last 7 days**, the *last period* will be the **7 days immediately before that range**.

## Interpretation

This metric shows the level of personalization and experimentation users are exposed to. A higher number of active experiences usually indicates that users are seeing more tailored, dynamic content across the application.
