Evidence strength
Calculated from how many high-quality signals exist for this trend across our 8 sources, weighted for recency and independence. A trend crossing 6.0 means enough evidence to take seriously. Above 60 is exceptional.
Source diversity

Momentum
New signals arriving at a stable pace. The trend isn't cooling or spiking — it's solidifying.
Reasons this matters now
Our Why-Now rubric checks five things: a fresh catalyst, a primary source, a recent timing window, quantitative evidence, and multiple converging forces. The more present, the stronger the case for acting now.
