# Insights: Product Description

At Echo, we've adeptly leveraged the expansive scope of human mobility attributes to empower your analyses and provide invaluable insights into the world around you. Additionally, we offer aggregated historical data for certain countries, thereby significantly enhancing the depth and richness of your analytical insights.

Uncover the hidden secrets of human movement with our groundbreaking product, Insights (previously known as Activity). Moving forward, Echo's Insights products will be divided into sub-products based on their use case and the specific attributes central to those sub-products. <br>

**Revealing the World Through Mobility Attributes:**

Insights is a robust dataset combined with our proprietary cleaning and normalization methodology, to ensure precision and depth in your analyses.

Let's explore the wealth of sub-products available:

1. **Visits**

This sub-product measures foot traffic to a POI over a given time period. Each record links visits to a specific POI, enabling temporal analysis of customer activity.&#x20;

2. **Visits Heatmap**

This sub-product provides a spatial view of mobility patterns by aggregating visits into hexagonal cells (H3 Level 9). Normalized counts allow comparisons across geographies, revealing the density of visits at the neighborhood scale.

3. **Catchment Area**

This product defines the geographic footprint of a POI by showing where its visitors live and work. The dataset highlights the distribution of home and work locations and builds polygons that represent a POI’s effective trade area.

4. **Dwell Time**

Captures how long visitors stay at a POI. The dataset includes average dwell duration and statistical distributions across time buckets, with flexibility to analyze at the POI or brand level.

5. **Cross Visits**&#x20;

Analyzes visitor overlap between brands, POIs, or categories. It quantifies both shared visitors and exclusive visitors, helping assess loyalty, competition, and brand affinity.

**Working with Admin Boundaries and Uber H3 Geospatial Grid:**&#x20;

Our data isn't just insightful; it's structured for seamless integration. We work with admin boundaries and H3 grids, simplifying the process of incorporating our data into your existing systems and analyses.

**Discover Deeper Insights with Historical Insights:**&#x20;

Echo is not just a data provider; with Insights, we provide a powerful tool for understanding human behavior and movement patterns. Whether you're a business optimizing location strategy, a city planner enhancing urban mobility, or a researcher unveiling behavioral trends, Insights has you covered.

Insights is your gateway to a world of historical human mobility data. Join the future of data-driven decision-making today and dive into the depths of human behavior and movement.
