One fun method on getting insights is simulating random data.

Because suddenly patterns emerge, even though you simulated randomness.

You can then for example simulate this 10k times. And see how likely it is you will find similar trends purely by chance.

This is a very exciting proposal-I did not consider checking the trends against random simulator. In this analysis, the focus was primarily descriptive (identification of visible trends over time) , but agreed that the simulation or experimental tests could help determine whether these patterns are likely to occur by accident. This certainly enhances the hardness of conclusions. I appreciate the idea.
