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.

  • Heather du Plessis-Allan hdpa-drive Erica Stanford: Education Minister clarifies concerns raised over draft curriculum 4 May · 24s
    Now, about an hour ago, we spoke to health education expert Darren Powell, who's one of the critics of the draft curriculum for music, PE, science, technology, history and health. He complained that mental health isn't mentioned in the health curriculum at all and that there's no mention of haura Maori, which is essentially holistic health.
