Spikes don’t just happen. They cluster around event windows.

The homepage starts with the strongest monthly surges so the reader sees the signal before any deeper interpretation. This is not the full model. It is the first pressure map.

Comment activity peaks most sharply in late-2024 windows. The relationship does not prove coordination, but it defines the exact windows where correlation work and manual review become most valuable.

narrative modules

The public surface should show the themes before it shows the suspects.

These narrative modules act like magazine spreads: one strong idea, one chart-adjacent explanation, and a path into the deeper workbench for verification.

Anti-Hezbollah Pressure
01

Tracks how spikes and comments cluster around anti-Hezbollah framing, state-failure blame, and sectarian pressure.

02

Surfaces posts that revive militia nostalgia, historical cooperation narratives, and identity-coded reassurance patterns.

Explainer captions on the final site will show what each cluster measures, why it matters, and what the current evidence still cannot prove.

methodology

Science-magazine annotations, not slogan graphics.

28 user histories, spike windows, dense threads, and external timelines are combined here as a public-facing research surface. The strong aesthetic is intentional, but it stays subordinate to evidence and sourceability.

01

Archive cleaned from the raw Reddit export while preserving thread linkage, flair, and time structure.

02

External-event registry built separately so subreddit spikes can be compared against real-world timing.

03

Captions explain what each chart measures, why it matters, and what remains uncertain.

04

The current release is evidence-first: it presents patterns, not final accusations.
