1,323 cited events · 890 measured articles · Apr 2025 – Jul 2026

Make-up Mostly Launch · 64% by story type
Framing Promotional 9%, otherwise neutral
How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames it — 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.

Coverage is 59% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 9%, much of it on the Google Maps timeline storyline.
