Diagramming Issues

I wrote my diagram the same as the one in the video, but I also diagrammed these parts of the sentences "but just as often rely only on their broker or on hunches. Only a few always do their own research before investing." I considered "often" to mean "most" and so I diagrammed ISM -most- B or H. And then I considered "Only" to be a necessary indicator and so I diagrammed ISM --> R, which made me lost with a condensed diagram. Can you please explain to me why these additional notations I made are wrong? and how can I be sure what sentences to diagram? Thank you!

I don't think that "often" can be used in the same way as "most" -- it's too imprecise and open to interpretation.

Most has a definite meaning: greater than 50%

Often could mean almost anything.
