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.

    Interesting. All right, mate, you go well. Have a good weekend. We'll see you next week. Murray old's out of Australia. Uh they put the prices out yesterday for the 2027 World Cup. This is rugby. Two grand. I mean, serious, 1950 to be precise. Uh, next stage of the ticket sales. That'll begin Tuesday. The application phase, it follows the first 750,000. That was controversial back in February. Backlash, all the usual staff system crash, 10 hour waits, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, at $1,950, it's $400 more than last time in Paris. It's $600 more than the 2019 final. The most expensive ticket uh to the 2003 World Cup final was $450. So it's gone from 450 to 1950. Um, men's final at the Australian Open. You could pay 2400. Uh on the dodgy market, it's nine grand. But State of Origins 500, NRO Grand Finals 400, AFL 515, even a VIP ticket to the Formula One's a thousand. Taylor Swift 1295, Oasis 1100, the rugby final, 1950 bucks. I assume they're confident that people will pay it.
