Today's Highlight: rewrite as substantive analysis (v2.8.1)#36
Merged
Conversation
Per feedback: the highlights were reading as site advertising
("Export CSV!", "Try the Scenario Lab!"), not as analytical content.
Rewritten as a daily research note instead.
Each of the 36 entries now has:
- Analytical headline (the finding, not a CTA)
- 2-3 sentence explanation with concrete numbers and context
- Mini chart visualising the underlying data
- "Key takeaway" callout block -- one bold sentence summarising
what to remember
- Small "Source data in [Tab] -->" link, demoted from the
prominent CTA button
The 36 entries collectively cover:
Inequality (4) - top 1%, bottom 50%, wealth concentration, trajectory
Jobs (8) - decoupling, graduate unemployment, female LFPR, gig
workers, informal share, youth unemployment, formal decline,
demonetisation aftermath
Growth (4) - 2020 contraction, rural income stagnation, GDP
volatility, headline growth
Democracy (5) - V-Dem, RSF, DQI, India vs Hungary, 1976-emergency
comparison
Federalism (2) - FCI, cess share
Statistics (4) - SSI, census delay, exam disruptions, unemployment
definition
Society (2) - communal incidents, opposition incarceration
Public services (1) - ODF logistic curve
Comparative (3) - regime scorecard, India vs Hungary, SA recovery
Indices (1) - three indices co-movement
Correlation (1) - SSI vs press freedom co-movement
Methodology (3) - SSI, DQI, FCI construction
Card visuals updated: neutral slate gradient (instead of busy
indigo/blue/purple), "Today's analysis" pill, indigo accent
specifically on the takeaway block.
Version 2.8.1; CITATION.cff matched; CHANGELOG entry.
