Compass measures press coverage, not Gmail's product quality, business performance, or market value.
Counting every mention, coverage of Gmail is easing — it appears in 1,736 analyzed articles across the technology press.
What Gmail coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.
Story type and claim stage are shares of the 1,030 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 991 of those whose framing could be read — vendor and primary-source items carry no framing.
How to read this
The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.
Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.
How this is counted — why the article numbers differ
1,736 articles mention Gmail across the corpus. The coverage make-up above is measured on the 769 of them that were read into dated, classified coverage items — and one article can produce more than one item, because story type, claim stage and framing are read separately.
