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.

    That's right. And remember when John Key came in, he was lucky because he had the China free trade agreement and that was a great boon for New Zealand, but he also had the Asian financial crisis to deal with, or the global financial crisis, sorry, and that was big, you know, it was a big thing to deal with, but fortunately we had a very good trade deal backing his prime ministership and then, you know. With Clark, it was just obvious that there had to be a change running against Jenny Shipley. I mean, she was a shoo-in. So, you know, the way politics goes to me over the years has been fascinating and I've enjoyed the personalities probably more than the policies because, you know, the personalities grow on me and I thought when I started in politics, I thought... I'll be there a couple of years like you do when you're young, so that'll be it, and it just grows on you. It's interesting and the travel I liked a lot, so I was travelling for 40 years around the world with Prime Ministers, so it's not a bad job.
