Legal Coverage Statistics
Original analysis of our own accumulated coverage — not a syndicated report. Every figure below is a live, real-time aggregate computed directly from our source-verified story record. See our editorial methodology for how stories are classified, scored, and verified.
Coverage by Category
Story count per category, all-time. Download full dataset (CSV).
Volume vs. Impact: Where the Headlines Aren't the Story
Our most-covered category isn't our most consequential one: Regulation generates the most stories (1,719), but Acquisitions carries the highest average impact score (8.2/10) despite far fewer stories (5). Coverage volume and consequence are different signals.
Sentiment Distribution
Directional read of 2,252 classified stories — the development's implication for the space, not the tone of the reporting. Download sentiment dataset (CSV).
