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.

  • We're at Farmlands, one of our naming sponsors on the country. The other one is, of course, I Susie. You've just heard about them. Now have we got a deal for you? I've got a deal for you on Kiwi Fruit and the deal for you on a new Ute. I Suzu youths have uh long backed hardworking kiwis. And if you're in farming, trades, rural life, chances are you already know why. These vehicles are built with real truck DNA. The D Max chute brings a three-litre uh turbocharged diesel engine, 3.5 ton towing capacity for strength and durability to handle whatever the farm or whatever job on the farm or the site throws at you season after season. And if you need extra seats, do what I do. Drive an M UX SUV, gives you seven of them, same engine, same towing power uh as the D Max, just room for the family, or if you're like me, fold the seats down, you can get in lots of golf clubs. So whether you're replacing a tired workhorse or adding to the fleet, now is a good time to talk to your local Isuzu dealer. Uh get out the gate deal on a D Max or an MUX uh comes with every new Isuzu backed by the double tough six-year warranty for genuine peace of mind. Head into your local Isuzu dealership and see what they can do for you. Here's Michelle Watt with the latest uh Todd Chadris, Chief Executive of Rabobank. Uh, you're a part owner, albeit a very small part of the Highlanders, so your heart lies down in the south. But you're going to the footy here on Friday night.
