Sumatra
Untracked preview. This is not a tracked Signal Bureau entity — the page is generated on request from live coverage search, is not indexed, and carries no editorial curation. Tracked entities live on the Wire.
Coverage of Sumatra is holding steady : 5 signals on the latest tracked day, level with its three-week baseline of 5, across 2 domains.
Sumatra is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 5 signals a day across 2 domains. A real move would be a day at 7+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 2. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
