[ SLANG ][ LIVESTREAM ][ NOUN ]
A graph showing what percentage of viewers are still watching at each point across a video's full length, distinct from a retention window by covering the entire runtime rather than just the highest-risk early stretch.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The completion curve was flat almost to the very end, barely any drop-off the whole way through."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'curve' from standard graphing language, extending 'retention-ladder''s staged-checkpoint idea into a continuous plotted line across the whole video.
