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.

  • Good on you, Emma. Yeah, talking about fuel and fertilizer. Earlier this morning, I caught up with a UK farming correspondent, Tommer Tom Martin. They're having some real issues over there, not only keeping a prime minister, but trying to make some money as arable farmers. It is dairy week here on the country with meridian and farmlands. Um as I said yesterday, you can enjoy an account credit of up to 300 uh when you're moving, moving day, uh, with meridian. Um if you move with meridian and uh your bill through farmlands, your farmland's card, uh, you get the discount on the rebate, T's and C's apply. Yes, moving day. Well, it's more than one day, isn't it? Moving few days is coming up at the end of May, early June. Up next, someone who I think he used to milk cows in a past life. Labor's ag spokesperson, Damian O'Connor. We're having a bit of trouble. We're having a bit of trouble trying to track them down. We think we've got 'em. We'll see how we get on after the break. Here on the country. It's 17 after 12. But a Phil Collins. Phil Bailey from Earth Wind and Fire. What a great band they are. Might even sneak some Genesis in. It's all happening on the country.
