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.

  • Yeah, look, that's right, because honestly, we are looking at a situation if we just speak to dairy markets right now. We're you know, New Zealand dairy prices have really benefited from the current market dynamics. Yes, we've had a lot of milk out there, but what's been happening is that we've seen relatively strong demands as being pretty broad-based. And if anything, and the what weather's now the fourth month of the Gulf War, New Zealand seemed to have benefited from some of those tensions out there, and perhaps a little bit of forward purchasing as well. So it's pretty rosy at this point in time for the 26-27 season. So all eyes will be on Fonterra with what they come out with for uh the new one. Look, my view is that we could see anything from that 950 to 10 dollar mark. And let's remember, Jamie, that last year they did things a little bit differently, and they actually didn't have a midpoint of the range. They stuck with one number, but they acknowledge the volatility in that macro environment. So look, who knows what might come out. Um, but the market, the spot market right now is pointing to another profitable milk price season ahead. And Jamie, this is where I guess I put my other hat back on.
