#### Cut-off

You can manually change the `Cut-off type` of the results in two ways, `Relative` or `Top #`.

You can manually change the `Cut-off type` of the results in three ways:
119119
- The `Percent` mode shows contributions _from_ entities of at least _x_% or higher.
120+
- For example: If the cut-off is set to 5% for process contribtions, then all contributions of at least 5% are shown.
121+
- The `Cumulative percent` mode shows contributions that cumulatively contribute at least _x_%.
122+
- For example: If the cut-off is set to 80% for process contributions, then the first _n_ processes (sorted highest
123+
to lowest) that count up to 80% are shown.
120124
- The `Number` mode shows contributions from the _x_ entities that contribute the most (as absolute).
125+
- For example: If the cut-off is set to 5, then the first 5 processes (sorted highest
126+
to lowest) will be shown.
127+
128+
The cut-off is applied per item (e.g. per reference flow or impact category, see [compare](#compare)) below).
129+
This means that if you want to see the top 5 contributors, you will only see the top 5 per item, even if a contributor would
130+
also be present for another item.

### Positive and negative numbers in contribution results

It can happen in LCA that you get both positive and negative numbers in your contribution results.
