So Flock helped solve a case nearly every day of the year?

  Maybe! We don't know, all we know is that allegedly: > Those searches played a part in “advancing 361 cases.” What does "played a part" mean? What does "advancing a case" mean?

    Reads like the intentionally obtuse language of an analytics guy making the numbers as big as possible without outright lying.

    If you're Flock, and an officer ran a search against a Flock database, for a crime that was later solved, regardless of how it was solved, they will crow that "Flock solved a crime".

  They never solved any cases, only provided a warm lead once a day. If they solved many, they would be proud and say N cases solved. In this case N must be an embarrassingly small number since they don't use concrete language. It's like offering 5500$ to anyone that offers any information on any crime.
