Narrative methodology

Themes

A narrative is a theme — a category, not a fictional entity. Each theme carries a set of keywords and a research query used to gather real, relevant coverage.

Clustering

• A broad pool of articles is built from many news feeds and developer forums.
• Articles are matched to themes by keyword, deduped by URL.
• Counts, momentum, and the latest date are computed from the matched set.
• A research summary and additional cited sources are added on the detail page.

Hiding thin narratives

Themes without enough real coverage are hidden until they have substance — the platform never shows an empty or "monitoring" narrative.

Everything links out

Every source in a narrative timeline links to the original article, with its publication and date shown.
