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, you and I, well, you more likely than me will be long gone. So why are you worrying about it? That's actually a rather facetious and cheeky comment. I'll take that one back because it's ageist and not fair. Look, let's talk about something that we can agree on because I could talk to you till one o'clock and you're not going to change your mind. Okay. So you've confirmed you will not go into coalition with Labour. I'm pleased to hear that. that you called Labour woke, self-confessed communists who would turn our country into a basket case. No, we won't do a deal with Labour or their Marxist and separatist mates. That's a reference obviously to the Greens and to Party Maori. And I say it's about time that you've confirmed this. So well done.
