Hello @wazzaflow10
To answer your questions:
1) Yes, it's always had a notification, when creating a focus it will say 'Scouts are busy with other tasks, so results will take time'.
2) This is just a tip if you want more recommendations, keeping things broad will obviously lead to more recommendations as the criteria isn't as narrow.
3) Like above this is just a tip, if you want to maximise the number of recommendations then use that tick box as there will be some focuses that will overlap.
@Thijsie We've not seen this reported or noticed this in our internal testing, can you please create a new thread, with a save file and a example at the ready for us to examine, thank you.
