Coverage & methodology
Headlines, publication dates, source links, automated platform and audience tags, summaries, and suggested checks. Legacy broad categories are routed by headline rules, marked on story cards. Other unmatched stories remain Commerce context. Sellers includes legacy brand tags; logistics selects logistics coverage, and technology includes technology topics and SaaS audience tags.
We inspect up to 500 newest eligible records published within 90 days, then filter relevance and similar topics. This snapshot inspected 500 records and retained 459 stories. The 500-record cap was reached: longer windows are incomplete. Counts describe coverage, not market share or sales.
Amazon product rankings, price history, Etsy product metrics, and MeshNomics data are not part of this dashboard yet. News alone cannot establish demand, profitability, or a market-wide trend.
