SOVRINT traces what was said, by whom and when.
See the trendsRead the first case
When a public claim matters, someone has to show where it was first seen, who repeated it and whether more are saying it now. That work is narrative intelligence: finding small and large trends in what is published, auditing them, analyzing them and, in time, predicting how they move.
So far SOVRINT publishes topic counts from three public sources and draft case files, and runs a private workspace for invited customers.
SOVRINT reads public documents only. It does not look into private people or target anyone for lawful speech. It does not get content removed or run influence operations.
One phrase, twelve dated lines
Schools, states and now the FCC all say “bell to bell.” They do not mean the same thing.
Virginia’s bell-to-bell rule reaches lunch. Gilbert High School’s leaves lunch free.

The FCC asks how “different types of cell phone bans (bell-to-bell, instructional time, etc.)” affect student use, as if bell-to-bell were one rule. Education Week files 31 jurisdictions under the phrase. Of the 26 laws read, five use the words.
Anyone comparing those rules is comparing different things under one name. The lines are chosen examples, not a sample. They show no rate and no order of adoption.

The latest count
SOVRINT chose 17 topics on November 5, 2026, each counted by week in the Federal Register, the daily journal of the federal government. Over the 12 weeks through the week of October 26, 2026, 1 is growing, 7 holding, 2 fading and 7 too few to read.
Among topics with enough documents to compare, the largest percentage moves, the latest 52 weeks against the 52 before, are critical minerals, 36 documents to 96, and artificial intelligence, 199 to 310. This counts what the government published, not what people think.
A reading compares the latest 12 weeks with the 12 before. Growing is up at least 25 percent, fading is down at least 25 percent and holding is in between. Readings do not adjust for the time of year.
The center column holds the latest 12 weeks and the bars beside it the 12 before. The two share a scale and each topic has its own, so bar heights cannot be compared between rows. 52 weeks is the latest 52 against the 52 before. A dash means too few documents to compare.

A topic with too few documents is not read, and 7 of them are on Trends.
A micro trend is a short run of rises among a few publishers. A macro trend holds for months across many. No topic is a micro trend in the latest count. One federal source cannot show a macro trend. A macro trend must pass in both company filings and state bills, and no topic does in the latest counts.
