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.

Geopolitical Ambiguity

2 posts · 1,204 engagement · first seen 9 May 2026 · last seen 28 May 2026

New Zealand maintains a noncommittal stance on US and Israeli military strikes in Iran, avoiding direct support or condemnation while aligning with Australia's position in tone but not in substance, reflecting a broader shift toward policy neutrality in global conflicts.
