A multi-source "agreement" board (a brand appears when several independent streams are above their own baseline) was dominated by one stream: a video platform sampler whose history is reconstructed from the videos still visible today, so the past is always thinner than the present and every entity looks like it is rising (82% of judged brands fired, median ratio x5). Rows carried by that stream looked like strong multi-signal agreement. Two related artifacts: a series that starts with empty weeks (collection reached the entity late) counted 0>=0 as consecutive rising steps and printed "25 weeks climbing, x26" on flat data; and a rotating sampler reaching an entity for the first time was reported as the entity "appearing" with an infinite ratio.
