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 know, it's it really is hit the political establ establishment here, because you know, we can't offend China, and we don't like to offend China, but for uh four MPs, which was what they're expected to do to apologize for having gone to Taiwan is patently absurd. Even the speaker Jerry Brownley, he waded into it saying that politicians are free to travel where they like. It wasn't an official delegation from the government, which would have been probably a bit different. But they have the, you know, we signed up in 1972 to the One China policy. Uh that means that we recognise just one China, but doesn't necessarily mean that we agree with it. And of course, we trade quite well with Taiwan. It's a uh, and I've been there, it's a wonderful country. Um, but and they do a very good whiskey, I might say, Ca Lan whiskey. But um, you know, it's um it's I think uh indicating just how sensitive China and Taiwan are with each other at the moment, and in particular, the big the big uh player in this game is China.
