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.

    I think we could do more. I think what would be amazing for New Zealand, actually any country, Australia is no different, is to try and own and control as much of your AI infrastructure as you can, so that the things that you really want to stay in New Zealand, the things that are going to keep New Zealand secure in a volatile world ahead, are actually in infrastructure that's in our country. We have all the capability to do it and great renewable energy resource to do it. I think we could probably move quicker on bringing that compute, the actual computers to New Zealand, uh more sovereign, if you like, uh format. But we're working on that. I think it will happen, but it's a big opportunity, not just for all the economic growth that that development brings, but I think securing the future of the country in an increasingly digital world.
