According to the example, records that meet the following conditions are available as improvement opportunities in the Summary and insights page:

-   The minimum repetition is calculated as multiplier x median repetition for transition. In this example, records must meet or exceed 20 times the median repetition.
-   A transition must contain at least 20 records.
-   The top percentage of records in the extreme high repetition category that can qualify. Prevents too many records from being included and focuses on true outliers. In this case it is 2%.
