What Changes When the Data Changes?
Ask a question about education policy and see how the answer changes depending on the dataset used. The left panel draws on the full dataset including media coverage. The right panel uses the same model but with all media removed - only government, think tank, and professional body publications remain.

What This Means
Core Finding
Removing media changed 93% of what the model found — same model, same settings. One source accounts for 70% of the dataset. The model discovers who publishes most, not what the policy landscape contains.
Core Insight
Media frames issues as crises. Without it, deeper structural problems emerge. The question isn't which version is right — it's which one is shaping decisions, and whether decision-makers know.
