How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
124 articles mention Claude Sonnet 4.6 across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 48 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.
30 posts on company and project channels mention Claude Sonnet 4.6 across the full 15-month record. They come from any company or project channel Compass reads, not only Claude Sonnet 4.6's own. They are counted separately from the 124 press articles.
