Research direction

Start by reading app/javascript/components/impact/map.tsx around lines 88, 160, and 180, then compare the failing MetricPoint data with the Sentry report. The issue is done when the map no longer throws when e.user is undefined, with the intended behavior for that metric point confirmed.
