What the numbers show

Here is the concrete read from this week's aggregates: • Tell one clear story: scouts are pouring attention into genre X (scout-pool share), but genre performance (heatmap) says Y is stronger — or the reverse. Name the specific genres from DATA. Be explicit that this is a scout-attention proxy until vibe-search themes are logged; do not invent vibe query strings. Use the charts to decide where attention should go next — and where it is already over-allocated.

Where to look next

If one genre or band dominates a chart, ask whether that concentration is earned performance or sourcing habit. Cross-check against the other visuals before you move a meeting agenda around it.
