Deeper look
Cohort Tracker — one application month over time
Instead of asking what the pool looks like now, this view asks what happened to the people who lodged together. Pick an application month and watch how that group’s status mix changed across later snapshots.
What this view measures
One application month, followed forward: how many of those EOIs were still submitted, how many were invited, and how many had left, at each later published snapshot.
Reading the chart
A cohort that clears steadily shows a stream where invitations kept moving. A cohort that flattens with a large submitted remainder shows one where they did not.
Watch the two-year mark. A cohort that has not cleared by then loses the remainder to expiry rather than to invitation.
What the figure represents
Cohorts are the closest thing in this data to a throughput measure, because they follow the same group rather than a changing pool. They are still history, not forecast.
In the dashboard
Set the visa, then pick an application month with enough distance behind it to have a story. A cohort from two months ago has not done anything yet.

For applicants
Find the cohort you lodged in and see how it has fared. It is the most grounded context available, and it still cannot tell you what happens next.
For migration professionals
The most persuasive way to show a client that waiting is not passive: their cohort has a visible history, and it either cleared or it did not.
Limits of this view
It cannot follow individual EOIs, cannot distinguish invitation from withdrawal, and suppression hides small cohorts entirely.
Common questions
Can I use an older cohort to estimate my own wait?
Only loosely, and with real caution. Invitation volumes, occupation lists and points distributions all change between cohorts.
