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.

    News of the world and winners in 90. Uh they're all involved as far as the game, and we have literally no details. So Iran got back. They were due on Friday, they got back in the last couple of hours anyway. We have no idea what they've said, but Qatar's involved, China's involved, and of course Pakistan's involved, so we'll keep you. But in related matters, I note overnight, Saudi Aramco, who do a bit of oil. Uh Q1 net incomes up by 26%, 34% quarter on quarter. That East West pipeline that they're running. That's running at max seven million barrels a day. So adjusted net income of just the 33.6 billion dollars. So it is still in an odd way, a good business to be in. Twelve past six. So what do you think?
