I agree that watching the trend over time can be useful, but just one snapshot is pretty much useless. For example, on the last AE, I had 174 people senior to me bidding the position, I was ultimately awarded on said AE. Having watched it over the previous 3 or 4 AEs, it had been holding steady at ~174, but the seniority of those getting awarded the position kept getting more and more junior. Having watched that, I was fairly confident that I would it, even with 174 senior to me bidding. However, the fact that it doesn't show displacements will really throw a wrench into this AE.
