How this score was calculated

Component	Value	Weight	Points
Attention growth	1%	0.30	+0.3
Coverage growth	0%	0.25	+0.0
Cross-source breadth	0%	0.20	+0.0
Acceleration	0%	0.15	+0.0
Freshness	0%	0.10	+0.0
Saturation (subtracted)	50%	0.25	−12.5
Trend score (0–100)			0.0

Opportunity = trend 0.0 × (1 − saturation 50%) × stage weight 0.4 × niche relevance 1 = 0.0

Saturation parts: volume 98%, time elevated 4%, mainstream 0%. Spike ratio = mean of the last 3 days ÷ median of days 4–31. A source counts as spiking at ≥ 1.5× and robust z ≥ 2.
