The **Explore your prediction** section of the Prediction tab visualizes prediction data and lets you create Audiences for targeting. An interactive chart displays a percentile cohort score that indicates the likelihood of users in each group to convert on your chosen goal. You can choose the top 20%, bottom 80%, or create custom ranges for specific use cases.

- **AUC**, or Area under [the ROC curve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receiver_operating_characteristic){:target="_blank"}; AUC lands between 0 and 1, where 1 is a perfect future prediction, and 0 represents the opposite. Higher AUC indicates better predictions.

- **Lift Quality**, which measures the effectiveness of a predictive model. Segment calculates lift quality as the ratio between the results obtained with and without the predictive model. Higher lift quality indicates better predictions.
