Most exclusively tied top 30 · ties that pass the test on the right, most exclusive first

The names that appear with INEC in a large share of their own coverage: this name's own company. Exclusivity runs from 0, two names that meet no more than chance would have them, to 1, two names that only ever appear together. A name that is in everything, a president, is exclusive to no one, so the big names fall away here and the names that belong to this one stay. Only ties that pass the strength test count, so a pair seen twice is not a tie. Places are context and have no page.

Most strongly tied the ties chance explains least

How sure the record is that two names appear together for a reason. Strength is a standard statistical test (log-likelihood): above 10.8, chance would produce the pairing less than once in a thousand times. It grows with the number of articles, so the biggest names come first here; the list on the left is where this name's own company shows.

The hubs' circles share of each hub's 30 closest names that are also linked to this one

The eight most-named figures each have an inner circle: the thirty names most tied to them. This is how much of each circle this name is also tied to. A count of shared company in the coverage, nothing more.

Shared with Donald Trump: House of Representatives, Senate.

The year 1113 articles on 28 days, 2025-11-02 to 2026-10-30 · weekly bars · 14 months on record

Left is a year ago, right is this week. Older days come from headlines only, so their counts run lower than live days.

Names are found by a language model trained to spot them, joined to one spelling per person, and counted per article. The relations are the model's reading of the sources. Everything else is a count of who was written about together; it says nothing about why.
