An interesting side project (if possible) would be to calculate the "inflationary decay" of 2a items coming into the game.
For example, one could assume that a considerable portion of the 2a supply entered the game within the first 12-18 months of the clue rework, then an ensuing drop off as new content came in/interest for farming master clues decreased. Not sure if the datapoints are available for clues completed on certain time periods/dates, could be worthwhile to look into.
Another thing - perhaps later on this year, you could re-calculate the master clues completed, and compare the increase from the preliminary results that you have shared here. We could then gauge the "inflation" of 2a items coming into the game based on that increase.
Regardless, much respect to the effort you have put into this.
