The figures

Coverage: 40 outlets in 26 countries, across 5 regions, 4 of them trade press. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 40 outlets, 5 state-owned, 3 public-service, 32 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 1: Algeria. Americas 4: Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, United States. Asia-Pacific 4: Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan. Europe 9: Austria, Belgium, Greece, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom. Middle East 7: Iran, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates. International 1: the outlets that publish from no single country, counted as one. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.
Languages: Arabic, German, English, Spanish, Persian, Indonesian, Lithuanian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian.
Timeline: Earliest article Bloomberg, 4 Oct 2026, 07:49 UTC. First seen 4 Oct 2026, 08:00 UTC. Last seen 5 Oct 2026, 10:34 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
Classification: Region International. Topic Energy. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
Score: 1.38, as of now. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
Chain: Merged from 2 stories OPEC+ keeps oil production targets unchanged for November; OPEC+ keeps November oil production targets steady. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box. A story merged from several was grouped from stories about the same event; each keeps its own headline and page, and the whole story counts every outlet and country once.
Day by day: Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
