Field notes
The index presents a seven-day reading against a recent baseline, with headline counts and source-by-source coverage visible alongside the score. Its sensitivity checks remove signals or sources one at a time, while noting that excluding a source changes the population being described. Semantic annotations are labeled experimental and not human-validated; historical points are retrospectively collected.
