During the last few weeks of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update testing cycle, builds were being released at a near ludicrous pace to Windows Insiders.
Since the release of Windows 10 Version 1607, aka the Anniversary Update, nearly one month ago we have now had three different releases of Windows 10 Redstone 2 testing builds for evaluating updates for the next major update of Windows 10 which is expected in early 2017.
I now have scientific social media evidence that the release of each of those three Redstone 2 builds are tipped publicly before they are released and made available to Windows Insiders.
The key is to know where to look for those tips and they actually come from a very obvious source - the head of the Windows Insider Program - Dona Sarkar.
Let me lay out the social media trail for each of the three Redstone 2 releases over the last month.

How is that for a scientific method? Sometimes if you just pay attention to the right places you can learn alot.
