Methodology

  • Weekly count of episodes carrying each topic / mentioning each company, on Tier A + B active shows.
  • Momentum = last 7 days ÷ trailing 28-day 7-day-window average.
  • Volume floor: minimum 20 episodes carrying the topic (or 3 for companies) in the 7-day window.
  • New topics with no prior baseline are labelled “new,” not scored on ratio.
