Recommendation statistics
The Synerise platform offers you a full statistics panel in the recommendation details.
In the AI Hub > (AI Recommendations) Models view, you can view the statistics in two ways:
- On the list of recommendations, you can view basic statistics for each campaign.
- After opening a recommendation’s details, you can see more statistics on the Statistics tab
Before you read the description of the metrics in the statistics, there is a term that you may not be familiar with:
- a unique recommendation frame - it is a very first view of a recommendation frame (for example, if a customer sees a recommendation frame whose ID is
1234, and this recommendation is displayed for the second, third and more times, these views are not considered unique)
Note:
The statistics are calculated from these events:
- recommendation.click
- recommendation.view
recommendation.generated- this event is generated automatically after a request is sent to any endpoint that starts withrecommendations/v2/recommend- transaction.charge

Item metrics
For each campaign, you can check the best-performing items. They are available in the Top products section of the statistics.
By using the Metrics dropdown list on the right, you can choose the condition by which the best items will be selected:
| Metric name | Description | Required events |
|---|---|---|
| Generations | The number of recommendation frames which included this product | recommendation.generated |
| Clicks | The number of times this product was clicked in a frame | - recommendation.click,- recommendation.generated |
| Charges | The number of transactions with this item which occurred within 24 hours of clicking the item. | - recommendation.click,- recommendation.generated |
| Revenue | The revenue generated by showing this item in a recommendation frame | - recommendation.click,- transaction.charge,- recommendation.generated |
| Views | The number of times this item was shown after a recommendation was generated. This is separate from generating a frame, because the frame might be displayed partially and items are only shown after scrolling or otherwise changing the view. |
- recommendation.view,- recommendation.generated |
