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.

  • is definitely getting political now. They are dragging it out. There's been almost 30 points of engagement, including 10 hours of meeting with officials looking at the detailed advice. This is a trade agreement that is nothing but good for us as a country. Tens of thousands of jobs at a time when we absolutely need them. Diversifying our trade, which is critically important for us into one of the biggest markets in the world. And in terms of the investment commitment, that target is aspirational and the text intentionally differs from other India free trade agreement partners agreements to highlight the commitment is to promote. So, you know, these guys are messing around with us now. And actually it's having some negative impacts on our own Indian diaspora because now they are starting to be targeted and as the Minister of Ethnic Communities I'm having to deal with that. So we're bipartisan with these sort of things as a country. Labour have had massive engagement. I'm very interested to say that Ginny just said on the show that they've got conflicting information from Indian officials and New Zealand officials. Has that been flagged up? Is that a sworn move here, don't they?
