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.

  • So Rob has an issue, Rob does have an issue with us. We did expose quite a bit of the honest truth when we recorded meetings and this all came about because over the past. 16 years prior we've had a number of instances where we have developed rugby programs sports programs frameworks at different levels of you know not-for-profit right through to corporate where we've got to the sort of table and we've been told no you guys are not the ones to go through but we're going to take your IP and we're going to deliver it ourselves so what we've been doing ever since for our Pasifika people championing leadership is recording a lot of our conversations so that we have evidence citizens improved to show that this is not Pasifika not leading well this is actually a systematic issue where Pasifika take ideas and investment and opportunity to a system and then the system takes it from us and so now that we've got these recordings of Rob Nichol and it's his voice saying that he stood up this group and he championed this change and he and you know he appointed Deloitte to make the business model and then he went out and hand hand recruited Pacifica leaders like Brian Williams and Michael Jones to deliver the piece, you know, that's the only way that you're going to be able to show our Pacifica community what really goes on behind closed doors.
