Methodology
Normalize the same eight-topic SEC-filing and Wikipedia attention baskets separately in 2016 and 2025. For each topic, subtract its 2016 portfolio share from its 2025 share. The two axes therefore show relative agenda change in percentage points, not changes in filing counts or pageview levels. The basket is editorial, article scope differs from exact filing phrases, and 2025 is an endpoint comparison rather than a causal or continuous-trend analysis. What this isn't: Topics in opposite quadrants became more corporate but less public—or vice versa. Movement is relative to seven other tracked topics, not absolute popularity.
