Trend Signal Index.
A dated count of what TrendsAGI has published, how much of the archive carries a complete measurement, and the observed velocity range. Every figure is computed from the same public archive the briefings render from.
Key findings
The archive in four numbers.
These figures describe published TrendsAGI briefings, not the whole market. Read the sample and limitations before quoting them.

Quotable findings
Complete sentences, with the date attached.
Each sentence is self-contained so it can be quoted without changing its meaning. Keep the snapshot date and the archive link beside any figure you reuse.
As of 2 November 2026, the TrendsAGI public archive contained 3650 dated trend briefings across 30 categories, published between 28 January 2026 and 2 November 2026.
Of those briefings, 1133 (31%) carried a provenance-complete velocity measurement with a timestamp, observation window, sample count and named provider.
The median measured rate was 982.3 source posts per hour, with an interquartile range of 479.9 to 2,258.2 posts per hour.
The median observation window was 15.1 minutes, using a median of 3 observations.
The largest category was Sports, with 987 briefings (27% of the dated archive).
Method and sample
What is counted, and what is not.
Included
- Dated trend briefings published in the public blog archive.
- Each briefing's category, grouped by a normalised category slug.
- Velocity measurements with a positive rate, measurement timestamp, a 5-minute to 6-hour window, at least two observations, and a named provider.
- Briefings published in the last 30 days, relative to the snapshot time.
Excluded
- File-backed explainer articles and policy pages, which are not trend briefings.
- Changelog entries, which describe the product rather than a trend.
- Legacy velocity scores without complete measurement provenance.
- Any claim about unique people, reach, engagement, purchase intent, or future demand.
Count
Every eligible briefing counts once, even when it is updated later.
Percentiles
Median, 25th and 75th percentiles use the measured rate in source posts per hour. Rates publish only at 10 or more measured briefings.
Stability
The page and JSON endpoint regenerate hourly. The URL stays fixed; the snapshot date tells you which version you are quoting.
Limitation: the archive is a published sample, not a random or market-wide sample. Providers can define source events differently, so compare rates only when their measurement context is compatible. A detected signal is decision support, not proof of causation, purchase intent, or commercial impact.
Category coverage
Where the published archive is concentrated.
Category counts describe what TrendsAGI published, not which categories are largest in the market. The same normalisation merges casing and punctuation variants into one row.
