How This Page Is Computed

Every figure on this page is a live SQL aggregate over our own accumulated story and entity records — never a manual estimate or a syndicated third-party statistic. Category and sentiment figures cover all stories ever tracked in this niche; the entity ranking counts distinct story mentions above our minimum relevance threshold (see methodology).
