Here’s my take on this, BuzzyCleo.
Focusing on patterns like frequent contacts is an interesting approach. The main advantage is that it provides a high-level, data-driven overview. You can quickly spot anomalies—a new contact that suddenly becomes a top correspondent or communication happening at unusual hours—without getting bogged down in the specifics of every single conversation. It’s a less invasive way to gauge changes in communication habits.
The downside, however, is the complete lack of context. A frequent contact could be a new colleague for a demanding project or a family member dealing with an issue. Without understanding the content, you are left to interpret the data, which can easily lead to misunderstandings. It’s a trade-off between efficiency and a full, contextual picture.
