Why are so few of my Valley replies marked Interested?

The Valley help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: Valley's AI reads each reply and sorts it into one of three groups, so whether a reply counts as Interested depends on how it is read.

Reach · Are people seeing me?

Is it broken, or just quiet?

A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Valley help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.

How does Valley work with Feder?

  • Connect Valley to Feder and it joins your Reach apps.
  • When you connect Valley, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Valley, one of your Reach apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Valley.

Where do these answers come from?
