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.

  • Good on you, Bruce. You can read all about that latest rural confidence survey on the RoboBank website, Rabobank.co.nzed. Some of your text traffic coming in on 5009. Jamie, how much was that bull sold for? says Mike. I can tell you, Mike, 168 grand for an Angus ball. Uh premium beef breed. Will I get in trouble for saying that? Maybe I will. Uh, but and it beat the old record set last year from the Tungy House stud in the North Island Gisburn region. It was 161 grand, and they actually bought the ball this year for 168. Uh, here's another one talking about the woke eggs at Sainsbury's. Uh Jamie, I'm an ex-poultry farmer. White eggs, simple genetic selection sorts that. Love your work. Thank you, Rob. Uh, and here's someone else um scolding me for my geography incident. Ignorance. I did ask where the ward, uh, where the uh Timati uh stud is based, whether it was in South Marlborough or North Canterbury, it's in Marlborough. Ward is very much in Marlborough. Uh, you should come and visit us. I'd like to. It's a great piece of country up there. I might I might when I'm going to Molesworth. Now, tomorrow on the show, we're going to have Chris Kelly, former chief executive of Land Corp, before they became Parmu. And he's married to Fran Wilde, former mayor of Wellington. And we're going to have a look at the idea floated by Jim Ward, the former manager of making Molesworth uh the nation's station. I reckon it's a great idea. But up next, it's Mike McIntyre as we talk.
