Methodology
Each topic receives a 0–100 score on six dimensions. The composite Index is a weighted average with momentum weighted highest. Launch-edition scores are editorial estimates; from Phase 5 they are computed by the Trend Radar from official APIs, licensed data and public datasets, with the same six dimensions.
Stage labels: Emerging (score rising from a low base), Accelerating (rising fast from a high base), Mainstreaming (high and stable), Saturating (high and declining).
