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.

  • Well, there's a whole host of spending that is not an enormous waste of money. show you the amount of time money we're spending on sort of good projects sort of nice to do feel-good projects which have no value whatsoever and oh look can I just say to you take for example our health situation we will never get on top of our health problems and we do not confront the fact that we have got a dietary problem in our country And you've got all these people saying we want to see Maori and Polynesians the same performance in terms of health as Europeans. Well, I'm afraid until we change and be honest with people about their dietary habits, we're not going to get a big No change. Where's it all gone spinning? And we could make massive savings there.
