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 yeah all right um someone's just sent through a message It's a bar. Interesting you would say this. It's a beer. It's a beer. Yes, please no more Ryan. Also, Chippy should stop going there. That is an interesting point because that leads us beautifully into our last story of the night, which is the front page podcast talking about how terrible Christopher Luxon is at media and part of the first part of this conversation. is actually them talking about Mr. Luxon not going on some things. And of course they bring up the example of Jacinda and Mike Hosking. But actually, to their credit, they also bring up examples of, I didn't know this, but right now, David Seymour will not go on Morning Report. John Key refused to go on Morning Report. I will pull up something that the host says which she's factually incorrect about the Jacinda and the Newstalk ZB but I'll point that out when it comes out. So I don't want to see Chippy not go to Ryan Bridge because I think what we just saw was a huge win for the messaging of the left and we live in this echo chamber where narrative sometimes means more than truth and Chippy was able to dismantle that narrative now whether that cuts through or not I'm not sure but it's that old adage of you can lead a horse to water right you can't make them drink that was Chippy leading the viewer to the water saying no you're wrong this is the truth whether they drink or not that's on them but if he wasn't there at all that narrative would perpetuate and there'd be no there'd be no water being led to at all right let's have a look at this about lux and um i think they were talking a bit about tover as well tover o'brien yesterday not interviewing luxon which was very weird on breakfast
