Market Pulse
The payments market as an analytical workspace. Every figure is how often something appears in verified coverage over the last 7 days: a signal of attention, not a measure of market share or adoption.
Market momentum

How this is measured
Windows. Each figure compares a window (7 days) against the window immediately before it of the same length. “All time” compares the most recent 90 days.
Counting. A brief counts once per topic, entity or category. Momentum is coverage frequency, how often something is written about in verified sources. It is not market share, revenue or adoption.
Thin data. A theme needs at least two developments in the current window and three across both to get a direction. Below that it reads “Early signal” or “Insufficient history”. Small samples show raw counts, not percentages.
States. Rising, Active, Stable, Cooling, Early signal, Insufficient history. High-conviction means Impact 70 or more and Confidence 60 or more, both model-assigned scores. How scores work.
Unverified entity names. These extracted names read like phrases rather than organisations and are kept out of the rankings above (not deleted, the underlying data is unchanged): Council of the European Union, Kings and Priests.
