> Very interesting! I find myself wanting to dig some more, but have difficulty achieving this. I think this should be possible with `cred.json` but sublime isn’t too happy with me editing a 221k lines re-indented json.

Please be aware that the `cred.json` file is currently filtered so that it only includes the 100 top scoring nodes of each type (across all time). This means if you e.g. filter down to a particular interval, you may get extremely unrepresentative results, because the top nodes from that interval might not have been top across all time.

I’ve created [a branch which disables this behavior](https://github.com/sourcecred/sourcecred/tree/no-reduce-size). I used this branch for the [cred analysis](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/weekly-cred-analysis-week-ending-jan-12/580) I published last week. If you want to do an ad hoc analysis, I recommend using that notebook as a starting point, and I recommend re-computing the cred with the no-reduce-size commit added. (I’m planning to PR that commit to master for just this reason.)
