Signal desk · coverage vs tape

The divergence board

Coverage heat against the 30-day tape, for every name on the registry. When both agree there is nothing to say. The two quadrants where they disagree are where this desk earns its name.

26 live names 2026Q4 · day 30 EOD delayed
Heat is this quarter’s daily article rate against the name’s own eight-quarter average — a name is loud relative to itself, not to Nvidia. 30 days into 2026Q4 the meter is live but young. Coverage intelligence, not advice — methodology.

The map

Vertical: coverage heat, log scale. Horizontal: 30-day EOD move, pinned at ±55%. Every chip is a dossier.
