Counting every mention, coverage of Surprise and Shine is steady — it appears in 224 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What Surprise and Shine 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 181 classified coverage items in this window.
These labels describe the story, not the event. Coverage counted under “Launch” is coverage of a launch that mentions Surprise and Shine — the label says what the story was about, never a claim about Surprise and Shine itself.
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
224 articles mention Surprise and Shine across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 174 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.
