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.

  • G'day New Zealand, welcome to The Country, brought to you by Isuzu and Farmlands. Can't beat a bit of Johnny Cash to kick off proceedings ring of fire for the Prime Minister who's going to kick off the show he's all fired up. Mike Pedersen. As a Hawkes Bay farmer, New Zealand's former special agricultural trade envoy, former chair of Beef and Lamb New Zealand. He swore many hats in agribusiness. He was meant to have been in India, apparently, for the signing of the free trade. agreement but opted out in the end. We're going to talk about the Indian free trade agreement, it's still the big story out there. Of course he's the current chair of Scales Corp, big horticulture and pet food company, so we'll see what was in the FTA for horticulture and what about the pet food? I think Indians are into sacred cows. Surely they wouldn't kill them and feed them to the pets. Dumb question. I'm going to ask Mike that one. Matt Kite, you're going to love this guy because I've done a bit of reading on this. He's the chair of the Tamaro Settlers Hall Committee. These were the guys who yesterday won the 10 grand from Rabo Bank and why their project was chosen over 250 others. There's a great story behind. One to Miro, much of which I didn't know. And Hunter McGregor is our guy in Shanghai talking about the state of the Chinese economy. They've got May Day holidays coming up and why their toll-driven roading infrastructure is so good. It's all on the country. We're going to kick it off with the PM.
