Coverage Mix
IBMcompany
1,036 classified coverage items · 671 measured articles · Jul 2025 – Oct 2026

What IBM coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

Story type and claim stage are shares of the 1,036 classified coverage items in this window.

VolumeClassified items rose over this window ↑
Make-upMostly Launch · 34% by story type
Framing Promotional 8%, otherwise neutral
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.

Coverage is 63% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 8%, much of it on the Launch · IBM storyline.
Corporate coverage — the stage ladder reflects how far this company's announced moves had progressed, not a verdict on the company.

How this is counted — why the article numbers differ

1,223 articles mention IBM across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 671 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.
