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.

  • Yeah, I think Mark is fantastic, actually. What he's done uh with the wool sector, uh he gets around all the field days, he's a farmer. I you know, at the moment you've got Todd McClay as a minister for agriculture and the Minister for Trade. I think both those portfolios are are too big to be under um the direction of one person. I think Mark would be fantastic as the Minister of Agriculture. I think most of your listeners would agree, and any of your listeners who have any dealings with Mark, I think would probably agree as well. Now, again, that's up to obviously that's up to Winston, but I think Mark Patterson, for what he's done with the wool sector, let alone his engagement with the agricultural sector would make uh him an ideal Minister of Agriculture. Again, I don't d don't want to preempt anything, but you talk about a quiet achiever, absolutely. He he is fantastic and his knowledge of the sector is second to none.
