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.

    Related matters are critical week, they say, don't they always? This is the central banks around the world. world they'll be issuing various warnings we got the war costs going up supply chain crunch households businesses we're all bearing it at the moment talk a bit about the trucking idea uh shortly that was the idea if you missed that yesterday you know we have some heavier trucks and we i mean this idea that we drive trucks 24 7 i don't know why we're suddenly waking up to this idea why don't you just run the trucks at night you won't get caught in traffic it's a lot easier to do anyway as be that as it may uh but for every week this is the central banks That for every week there is no deal, no energy flows, it's another week of inflation pressure and pressure on supply chains, which of course is true. Powell's likely last meeting, the Fed's expected to keep things unchanged. Financial markets are also saying there's almost a 100% chance that the B of E, the ECB, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of Canada will hold. Outside probability that the central bank... in the UK will rise or raise by 25. You've got UK ministers saying they're likely to see high prices for about eight months after the war ends. That seems to be the general consensus. Even if it opens tomorrow, the straight that is, about six-ish months. To clean up the mess that's been created, but we once again go back to that original and we ask Nicola Willis of the question, has it been worth it? If it opens up today and it takes six months to come right and by Q3 and Q4 in this country things are back to normal, has the war been worth it? She's said no, unequivocal no. On the upside of all of this, the FTA has been signed so McLean's winging his way back here and it'll go in front of a select committee and we'll at last see all of the text. I'll ask him about the text. whether there's any high drama or whether it's just been political shenanigans over the last couple of weeks with the Labour Party in New Zealand First. Sir Todd McClay, Christopher Luxon, do some sport after eight. How's that sound for you? Meantime, news next here at Newstalk Z.
