Volume vs. Impact: Where the Headlines Aren't the Story

Our most-covered category isn't our most consequential one: Market Trends generates the most stories (434), but Supply Chain carries the highest average impact score (6.7/10) despite far fewer stories (79). Coverage volume and consequence are different signals.

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).
