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 if you're a bid manager responding to the tenders, the RFPs, you know how hard it is to beat the competitors. Of course, I mean, just preparing one of those RFP responses like herding cats because you've got all the technical staff, they're super busy, they don't like writing, they don't write particularly well, got to find the time to respond. So you've got to avoid reinventing the wheel as well, you know, with every response. Don't want to make it the same boring stuff. You reuse the existing content, but you make it look and sound new while using your corporate language and style and brand tone.
