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.

  • Yes, and that is happening certainly around the district and around the country actually and Hawke's Bay and Gisborne and some of those areas do have horticultural diversity as more apples and kiwifruit and other crops and vegetables although vegetables is a bit tough at the moment too. So there are certainly growers in New Zealand who will have no contract for their grapes for the coming year. In Marlborough that could be as much as three or four thousand hectares. hectares which means you do mothball them put them in a holding pattern until things get better that'll cost you probably half the amount that it cost you to run a hectare here so for here it might be fifteen thousand dollars a hectare to to run a hectare of grapes to get it up to ready for production from the start of pruning it'll cost you half that pretty much just to mothball it so that's still money that you're having to pay for no fruit.
