Methodology

HighlightPilot Radar samples live Twitch channels on the public Radar map roughly every 600 seconds. Each sample records concurrent viewers plus chat velocity (messages/sec vs each channel's baseline). Engagement spikes open when velocity multiplier reaches 2.5× (with at least 1 msg/s of chat over a baseline of at least 0.3 msg/s) and close below 1.6× or when the channel leaves Radar. Spike durations above 6 hours are excluded from duration statistics. Viewer metrics are concurrent viewers observed on Radar-monitored live channels at sample time — not Twitch-wide totals. Opted-out creators are excluded from named lists.
