multimodal technique

Each item counts once per day if its title (plus summary or description where available) contains multimodal or one of its tracked aliases, matched case-insensitively on whole words. Heat on the Hype Meter board is scored as: raw = total mentions across sources in trailing 7 days; breadth = number of distinct sources with >=1 mention in those 7 days (1-4); heat = percentile rank of (raw * breadth) among all terms with raw>0, scaled 0-100, rounded. News and repo counts start the day tracking began; Hacker News and paper counts are backfilled from stored daily snapshots. No language model touches these numbers.
