Evidence Notes.
8 Findings Published
Evidence
Primary referent: stat minus 2 numeric.
Evidence
Implied function: The icon must communicate Stat Minus 2 in a digital interface..
Evidence
Metaphor type: functional.
Evidence
The icon effectively represents the concept 'Stat Minus 2' with a clear visual referent of two downward arrows stacked vertically, indicating a decrement by two units in a statistical or data context.
Evidence
Visual metrics show strong perceptual convergence (0.79), indicating the icon maintains clarity under size reduction, blur, and contrast loss.
Evidence
Semantic and functional convergence scores are moderate (both 0.58), suggesting the meaning and function are generally understood but could be ambiguous without supporting context.
Evidence
Cultural convergence is lower (0.53), reflecting moderate recognition and association across diverse user groups and some reliance on learned conventions.
Evidence
Temporal convergence is the weakest axis (0.46), indicating potential semantic decay or reduced meaning persistence over time.

[ RECOMMENDED NEXT ACTIONS ]
What Improves This Pictogram.
Action
Conduct representative user testing across diverse user groups to validate semantic transparency and functional clarity in real-world contexts.
Action
Maintain visible text labels or tooltips alongside the icon until user testing confirms that the icon alone reliably communicates 'Stat Minus 2'.
Action
Ensure the icon is placed with clear contextual cues to reduce confusion with neighboring interface actions, especially in compact or label-free environments.
Action
Monitor semantic decay over time and update icon design or usage guidelines as needed to maintain clarity and cultural relevance.
Action
Consider accessibility needs by providing alternative text descriptions and ensuring sufficient contrast, given the moderate color accessibility score (0.60).
[ Private testing / Admin invite ]
Request an invite for pictogram clarity screening.
Access stays invite-only during private testing.
Requests feed the admin invite queue.
Useful context helps select early pilots.
