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.

  • Oh, turkeys don't vote for an early Christmas and this government's led by three turkeys. They're not going to be trying to get to the polls any earlier. I think the voters would rightly punish them for that. They're going to hold on for dear life for as long as they possibly can. But it's probably going to be ugly for New Zealanders because you're just going to see the government sniping at each other and fighting with each other a lot more and we're already seeing that now. I mean, you've got Nicola Willis last week effectively saying she thinks Winston Peters has got dementia. You know, that was a new low. Let's see how much lower they're going to go by the end of the year. By the time we get to election day.
