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 exactly and and i don't think they're the only ones i think quite a lot of people in the pit lane are saying the same thing and and it's a very good point you make because all of a sudden the word purists is being used again oh the purists are always complaining about this and they don't like like this because it's not like the old days but they've got to get a life and move with the move with the times well guess what most of the people that want to move with the times and get a life are the next young generation and they actually seem not to care whether or not the cars have 50 electricity or zero percent electricity what they want is a show they want to see their heroes they want to see formula one in all its different platforms in which it's visible now whether it be whether it be digitally whether it be in the movie theater whether it be live television they love all that but we don't actually hear many of them saying wow what a spectacle can't believe those cars drove that lap with with 50 percent electrification that regeneration was amazing to watch no they don't say that they say wow did you see max verstappen's 360 degree spin don't they i mean that's the bottom line to the whole thing and so i think formula one is at the moment technically and in that in that commercial sense taking itself too seriously and it's forgotten that it just can be a show and it can survive as a show it can survive brilliantly as a show maybe the best show on earth
