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.

  • And what that says, I think, is the maturation of um of MMP that uh there may still be big players in the game, and that'll be the two main parties, centrist parties, with both which both uh national and labor are essentially, but then you've got the fringe parties, and if you look at Winston Peters, the number of people that he's pulling at public meetings, and to me, that's always been a good indicator of how New Zealand first is going to go at the election. Still early days yet, of course, it's almost six months. So um, you know, we're we're he's certainly pulling the crowds though, and um on those numbers, he's always done well uh at the polling booth on election day. Um similarly, you've got the Greens, they've got a solid base uh, and they're at what 12, 13% at the moment. And a lot of people have criticized the Roy Morgan poll. Well, if you look back to 2020, of all the polls, the Roy Morgan was the most accurate in that uh particular election. So you can't dismiss this. But look, we are poll axed at the moment uh in the lead up to the election. We'll get a whole lot more feedback. But if you look at the, as you say, Andrew, if you look at the trend overseas, you look at uh Nigel Farage in uh Great Britain and you look at uh Pauline Hansen in Australia. I think the time for the small parties finally uh to come to Ferouch.
