What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

  • Good day New Zealand, welcome to The Country brought to you by, I see so in farmland, bit of Irish music for Rory today, what a great day at the Masters. And if I don't master my job today it's because I spent too long watching the telly this morning, but I'll try my hardest. Rightio, I'm going to kick it off with New Zealand's special agricultural trade envoy, Nathan Guy, of course former Minister for Primary Industries, one of the signatories, one of the 27 signatories on a letter. To Parliament to... sh rattle their dags and get this fta with india signed now more than ever we definitely need it so nathan guy to kick off the show he's also i think the chair of apiculture new zealand we might ask him about all these bee colonies being lost last winter and hopefully what can we do to prevent it this winter uh katie millen the world's worst kept secret i might not have had it quite right about yolo wayne lankford standing for labor in west coast tas Tasman, even though he was asked, but I knew all along Katie had her hat in the ring and it is now official. She is the new national candidate for West Coast Tasman. Might get Nathan's take on that one as well. I think she'll be great in Parliament. Jack Fagin, I was so pleased to see Jack win the New Zealand or the open title at the New Zealand Shares, continuing the Fagin legacy for a sharing event, one of the two biggest sharing events in this country. In this country that the Fagin brothers, amongst others, are set up back in 1985. Today's farmer panel talking about siblings, brother and sister, Emma Paul and Tim Dangen, both of them getting a big check from Fonterra tomorrow. We do have the announcement, by the way, of a new Fonterra CEO. We'll tell you all about that and Phil Duncan on the weather. So let's get straight into it with Nathan Guy, Special Agricultural Trade Envoy. Nathan, are you very frustrated that we can't get this deal done and dusted?
