How the index works

The activity index runs from 0 to 100. It is built from distinct events (one per real-world event, however many outlets ran it), regulator actions, regulatory dates still ahead, new deals and relationships, and notable share-price moves, compared with each topic’s own baseline and spread across markets and desks. It is a relative signal, not a count. Cooling off marks topics that trended in the previous window.
