Messaging timelines
Two measurements over an archived corpus of social posts: how tightly a phrase clustered in a short window, and how it ran across months. Both count the same way, both show their receipts, and both stop short of the claim readers expect a page like this to make.
Observed account coverage. Run a measurement to see its observed accounts and platforms. Repeated posting is not proof of coordination. Links do not establish transmission; timing does not establish causation. The historical archive inventory is reported separately below.
Burst selected
A short window in hourly buckets.
Up to 31 days. Answers how concentrated posting was, and whether one account or several were involved. It classifies the window as one account posting repeatedly, as more than one account active, or — when any matching post carries no account identity — as unknown on that question. Activity, never proven coordination.
Switch to Echo
Up to two years in monthly buckets.
Up to 732 days. Answers how a phrase ran over time, and adds a reference chronology built only from literal links in the posts on the current receipt page. The chronology is scoped to that page; the counts are not.
The two modes are separate measurements over the same corpus. They are never combined into one series, and a burst result is not a sample of an echo result.

Starting points
- Communism, two yearsEcho mode over the backend's 730-day default, monthly buckets.
- 5 July 2026, one hourBurst mode over the hour in the curated case: six posts, one account.
- Socialism, two yearsEcho mode, a different term over the same corpus and the same formulae.
Measurement
No term has been chosen yet, so nothing has been measured. Enter a term above, or take one of the starting points.
The corpus inventory and the worked cases below need no term. They describe what the archive contains, including what it does not.

Archived inventory
Counted from the archive file itself on 2026-09-13, read-only. The file’s SHA-256 was recorded before and after and did not change. This is an inventory of observations, not a verified record of everything posted.

Not in this archive. Revision and deletion history: unavailable: this legacy archive kept no revision history. Party comparison: unavailable: the archive holds one account.
No observed history for x, bluesky. That is an absence of observation, reported as unknown. It is not a count of zero posts on those platforms.
A zero count means no archived observations, not no real-world activity.

Worked cases
Individual episodes examined by hand, with their evidence and their gaps written down. Measurements above are automated; these are not.
Six media links shared by one Truth Social account
observed local archive and bounded public read
- One account on one social platform; not a multi-account swarm.
- Only one linked publisher publication instant was inspected. Other URL targets are unclassified and undated.
- No verified original event or source-layer timestamp; no complete event-to-source-to-media-to-social chain.
Helsinki statement and next-day explicit correction
inspected primary transcripts with publisher and archived social context
- Historical 2018 supplementary example, outside the requested recent 18–24-month focus; not an archived Truth Social post.
- Official transcript issue dates order the explicit correction; session times are not publication times and no seconds lag is measured.
- All four stage labels are present but no connected event→source→media→social reference chain is verified.
