How the monitored publications were assessed
Discourse valence across every scored item: what the sampled sources published and how independent models read it. It is not a measure of public opinion, not a measure of the state of the world, and article volume is not agreement.
The trend line needs at least two days of readings and there are none yet. It appears on its own once the pipeline has run across a second day. Today's readings are on the axis below.
This line is the mean of every item scored on each day. It deliberately ignores the reading filter, because a daily mean of only the favourable items would move with how many were filtered out rather than with the discourse.
2 items read as favourable
- OpenAI claims to have solved maths problem that stumped humans for decades
- Google DeepMind Maps 9 Billion Possible DNA Variants
Across the whole window
The two tables below describe every item in the last 365 days under science. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter (currently favourable), because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.

By source
A source's mean says how the items it published were read. It is not a rating of the source.
