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.

  • Um, look, it's it's probably mastery. And again, you know, mastery are a school in Christchurch that have not met their target. However, uh they uh have been almost explicitly set up for students with dyslexia and other, you know, specific diagnosed learning disabilities. Sixty percent of their students have those types of challenges. Uh and yet they're pretty close to meeting their target in their first year. So that to me uh shows the difference charter schools can make. I'm not going to talk about all the other ones that smashed their targets in their first year. I mean, that's great. But the ones that are taking children who, you know, their alternative uh was basically to be disengaged, written off, consigned, and now they're showing that they can work towards those targets and in many cases making them.
