Why it matters

The lift period for a new narrative frame is rarely longer than 12 weeks. After that, the framing hardens around whoever has produced the most coherent body of work — and competitors have started moving.

The finding

The narrative turned. The window won't stay open.

    Coverage tripled in 8 weeks.

    Volume turned in week 6 and held the new level — a sustained shift, not a single-event spike.
