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.

    Yeah, and the obligation on both sides is a is a good idea. Uh, you know, if if the lobbyists have to disclose what they've given by way of any presence or functions, and the recipients have to disclose it as well. That way you've got a greater chance that there will be transparency because you know that if you don't disclose it, and and the person that's the gifted something to you discloses it, that's going to look pretty uh shady on on your part. But I also, you know, yes, just throw this in this as an idea. The idea, you know, I go back to the you know, Elon Musk gives 251 million to the the Trump administration in the last election campaign. Do you think there needs to be a cap put on the amount that a uh a vested interest group can donate politically?
