What to borrow
We could take a familiar dataset and reframe it as a map showing a shift over time, then lean on a strong source line to give it credibility.
Careful
Do not over-read the raw engagement: the account typical likes and times the account normal are not known, and points and comments are not available, so we cannot say how far this beat the account's baseline.
