Panoptica

We believe people understand the world through stories. Here at Panoptica, we aim to help you see through those stories. Panoptica is a new media site from Perscient, the longtime publisher of Epsilon Theory and the company that pioneered the field of narrative analytics. Our ambition is simple: to be the world’s central clearinghouse for the stories and narratives used to frame how the world is presented to you. Panoptica sees through stories not only within financial markets but across media, politics, sports, technology, and culture. https://www.panoptica.ai/

Panoptica content leverages Perscient's one-of-a-kind Storyboards that measure, track and visualize narratives and semantic signatures across global media. We use this technology to analyze not just the stories themselves but how they are being covered. https://www.panoptica.ai/all-storyboards/

• This Storyboard - which we call our "stain" chart - shows you at a glance how strong or weak a given narrative is right now relative to its history.
• For each narrative or "semantic signature" listed on the left of the chart, we have a series of blue dots on the right, each of which represents a specific weekly density or volume of that narrative. reading from within the date range that we are covering. The red arrow is the most recent reading, so it's just like the "YOU ARE HERE" spot on a map. The x-axis scale shows the range of index values. If a dot is at 100, that means that story is 100% more present in media than usual. If it’s at 0, it means it’s at its normal level.
• The light blue shaded box covers the middle 50% of readings across the date range, so you can see quickly if the current reading is typical (inside the blue box), depressed (left of the blue box), or elevated (to the right of the blue box).
• If you hover over a specific blue dot, you will see the specific date and measurement that the dot represents.
