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.

  • On the huddle with us this evening, Jack Tame, host of Saturday Mornings and Q&A and fellow Riley Iron Duke partners and former Business New Zealand chief executive. Hi lads. Good, thank you, Phil. Thanks for asking. Jack, how do you feel about this test? Um, I thought it was really interesting that in your first question, the minister answered by talking about us saying it was time for us to be proud about who we are in New Zealand. It's time for us to be proud about our values. I mean, I'm yet to be convinced of the utility of the test. If there are 20 questions and they're all pretty obvious stuff about rights and freedom, I would have thought that for any prospective migrant or citizen in New Zealand who spent enough time here, they're either going to know these like the back of their hand or.
