Rate of execution

As quickly as possible. As soon as the blueprint has executed on one data record, it starts with the next.

Determined by sampling rate in the data.

The blueprint executes at the recorded data timestamps. Thus, if the historical data records are 10 minutes apart, the blueprint will only execute every 10 minutes, and continue until it has executed on the entire dataset.
