"wildfire" | "wildfires" -"wildfire energy"

Run against the full text of the Federal Register, published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives. One document counts once, however many times the words appear, and a passing mention counts the same as a whole rule.

In seven of the nine readable years from 2016 to 2025, the 12 weeks to late October beat the 12 before by at least 25 percent, so much of an autumn rise here is the season.

Micro or macro

  • Micro: no. It needs 3 rises in a row and has 2. It has 15 publishers, and the test here is fewer than 10.
  • Macro: not possible here. It appeared in 12 of the latest 12 weeks and came from 15 publishers, where 10 are needed, but nearly every publisher here belongs to one government.

The tests are in Method 1.3. A topic is a subject. It carries no claim, so nothing here says what any document argues.
