# Space Insights and Analytics in Cosmos Video

Cosmos Video Space Insights is the admin analytics layer showing how people actually use a workspace. Admins see the number of conversations sparked inside Cosmos Video, natural co-working hours across the team, space utilization, and individual presence trends. Logs are exportable for deeper analysis, and the feature is positioned as a mirror of physical-office visibility rather than surveillance.

## What Data Does Space Insights Surface?

Conversation tracking groups interactions by duration (under 30 seconds, 30 seconds to 3 minutes, 3 to 20 minutes, and over 20 minutes) to show the ratio of quick hallway-style chats to longer deep-work sessions. Usage segments split members by time-in-space (under 1 hour, 1-2 hours, 2-5 hours, and 5+ hours per day) which helps identify adoption patterns.

Heat maps show the peak activity windows across the day and week, daily and weekly collaboration trends highlight momentum, and member analytics expose how individual presence shifts across Available, Listening, Focusing, and Away states over time. Admins can filter by team member and date range.

## How Does the Privacy-Conscious Approach Work?

Cosmos Video explicitly states this is not surveillance. The analytics are content-agnostic, meaning conversations are not recorded or inspected by the analytics layer. What is tracked is metadata: session counts, durations, status transitions, and access logs. Access is admin-only.

The live page recommends monitoring the first month of adoption closely and using a 14-day timeframe for establishing team collaboration habits before reading long-term trends.

## What Data Can Be Exported?

Exportable datasets include conversation logs (who talked to whom, when, and for how long, without content), status logs (presence transitions over time), and office access logs (who entered the space and when). Custom date ranges and team-member filters let admins pull the slice needed for a board report, retrospective, or adoption review.

## Space Insights vs Traditional Office Visibility

| Metric | Cosmos Video Space Insights | Physical Office | Basic Video Tool Reports |
|--------|-----------------------------|------------------|---------------------------|
| Conversations sparked | Yes, bucketed by duration | Observed informally | No |
| Natural co-working hours | Yes, heat map | Observed informally | No |
| Space utilization by member | Yes, bucketed by time | Observed informally | Limited |
| Individual presence tracking | Yes, four-state | Visual only | No |
| Exportable logs | Yes, conversation, status, access | No | Limited |
| Privacy-conscious, no content recording | Yes | N/A | Varies |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What metrics does Space Insights track?

Space Insights tracks conversations sparked (bucketed into under 30 seconds, 30 seconds to 3 minutes, 3 to 20 minutes, and over 20 minutes), natural co-working hours, space utilization, and individual presence transitions across the Available, Listening, Focusing, and Away states.

### Is this surveillance of my team?

No. The live page describes it as replicating natural physical-office visibility, not surveillance. Analytics are content-agnostic: conversations are not recorded or analyzed. What is tracked is metadata like durations, status transitions, and access, and access to the dashboard is admin-only.

### Can I export the underlying data?

Yes. Cosmos Video exports conversation logs, status logs, and office access logs as datasets. Admins can filter by custom date range and by team member, which is useful for retrospectives, workforce-planning reviews, and internal board reporting.

### How long should I wait before reading trends?

The live page recommends monitoring the first month closely for adoption signals and using a 14-day window to establish baseline team collaboration habits. Shorter windows tend to be noisy because members are still learning Cosmos Video's presence model.

### Who can access Space Insights?

Access is admin-only. Regular members do not see team-wide analytics or other users' presence histories, which keeps the feature aligned with Cosmos Video's privacy-conscious positioning and prevents use of the dashboard as a peer-level monitoring tool.
