How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames it — 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 82% announcement-stage and overwhelmingly neutral in tone; its biggest storyline is Bitcoin timeline.

How we made this

Compass reads a curated, longitudinal corpus drawn from the trusted technology press. For report.Subject it classifies each cited event by story type, by how far the reported work has progressed (speculation → announcement → launch → results, taken from what the press itself claims), and by framing — then rolls those up over time. Every number drills to the dated articles behind it. We measure the coverage; we don't independently verify what shipped.
