What is the default setting for the EMT containment threshold?

The default setting for the EMT containment threshold is typically set to 1. This means that when a user initiates an analysis, only one instance of an entry, such as a document or data point, must exist for it to be considered relevant for containment. Setting the threshold to 1 allows for a more lenient approach to identifying and managing data that may be significant, ensuring that unique occurrences are included in the analysis rather than excluding them due to a higher containment threshold.

A containment threshold of 0 would imply that no data points are required for them to be considered relevant, which is not practical for effective data analysis. A threshold set to 2 or higher would indicate that multiple instances of a data point are necessary for it to be contained, which could overlook important singular pieces of information during the analysis process. Therefore, having a default setting of 1 strikes a balance by allowing the system to capture essential data efficiently while maintaining a manageable level of inclusiveness within the analysis.
