The five stages, in words
One dot is 13 filings. That is chosen so the canvas holds its frame budget, not because 13 means anything — 5,941 dots × 13 accounts for 77,233 of the 77,241 filings in the window; the remaining 8 are the tail of the last incomplete dot and are not drawn.
-
01 Everything
Every filing in the published window at once: 77,241 filings across 60 trading days, 2026-06-04 to 2026-08-26.
Real: the number of dots. Modelled: where each dot sits. Positions in this stage are arbitrary and carry no meaning — the stage is about how much there is, not how it is arranged.
-
02 By day
The same dots sorted into one column per trading day, oldest at the left. The busiest day in the window is 14 August 2026 at 3,744 filings; the quietest is 15 June 2026 at 587.
Real: the height of each column — that day's filing count divided by 13. Modelled: where a dot sits within its column. Filings have no order inside a day here.
-
03 By sector
The same dots again, redistributed into bands by the filer's BSE sector — the tier-2 level of the four-tier classification, 23 bands including (unclassified). The largest is Capital Goods at 11,540 filings.
Real: the length of each band, and its rank — every band has the same number of rows, so length is count. Modelled: the position of a dot inside its band.
-
04 Material
Everything the desk treats as routine drops back. 21,260 of 77,241 filings (27.5%) carry a material tag.
Real: which dots stay lit. Material is a property of the tag, not of the filing — the list is in
config/material_tags.ymland the tag comes from BSE's own category / subcategory pair through a hand-written crosswalk. Modelled: nothing new; the positions are stage 03's. -
05 Today
Resolves to the newest published day, 26 August 2026: 1,241 filings, of which the front page ranks 12.
Real: the day's count, and the twelve named below — they are the front page's own selection, scored by
scripts/rank.py. Modelled: the arrangement. The ranking is not a claim that these filings moved anything; same-day price movement is deliberately not an input.- IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd Scheme of Arrangement
- Prime Focus Ltd Acquisition
- Devson Catalyst Ltd Change in Control
- Swan Defence And Heavy Industries Ltd Scheme of Arrangement
- Jain Resource Recycling Ltd Acquisition
- Mankind Pharma Ltd Restructuring
- SPR Auto Technologies Ltd Acquisition

The dots are a systematic sample, not a random one: the aggregate rows are walked in order and a dot is emitted every 13 filings, carrying the day, sector and materiality of the filing that crossed the threshold. So the counts you can read off the picture are the real counts divided by 13 — never a different shape. The three files behind this page are linked from About, and the window they cover is stated inside dims.json.
