Time investors vs Collaborators Directionality

Hi Kunaal! The directionality in group queries actually has nothing to do with who initiated collaboration. You can think of time investors as the "subject" of the measure, and the collaborators as the "object" that they are collaborating with. So if A spends an hour sending emails to B, it will show up as one hour of time that A invested in B. If A spends an hour in meetings with B, it will also show up as one hour of time that A invested in B. The special perspective of the group queries is that they view collaboration time as something that can be budgeted between collaborators, so if that same meeting is instead between A, B, and C, then A's time "investment" will be evenly split between B and C. But there's no consideration for who initiated the meeting or email.

I hope that helps to clarify!
