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.

  • He's an exceptionally good job. I mean, I set quite an ambitious goal when I was in opposition that we wanted to do an Indian FTA. Everybody said we couldn't do it. And Todd and I committed to getting it done. And I'm really proud of it, actually. So, yeah, and I think, you know, when you think that 57% of our exports are going to be tariff free from day one, when you think about this ridiculous situation we were in on land where we had, I think, 90% market share in India and it fell to 8%, you know, less than one tenth of what we used to have, all because this... australians and others got tariff relief and we didn't uh you know that's just giving kiwis you know exporters more options and that's what we need when we've got difficult challenging global environment like we have at the moment
