Trending = momentum in both launches and attention: 100 × (½·ln((S+5)/(S₀+5)) + ½·ln((H+5)/(H₀+5))), where S/S₀ are launches in this vs the earlier window and H/H₀ are hits (settled launches with 10+ votes) in the settled windows. The attention half counts only when the sector's hit-rate change is statistically significant (100+ settled launches per window and |z| ≥ 2); otherwise it's 0. Pseudo-counts damp tiny categories; +10 ≈ +10% combined growth. "Other" (unmatched launches) isn't ranked. Hit rate = share of launches with 10+ votes (PH) / points (HN), counted only once a launch is 48h old. Click a column header to sort.
