Google Trends returns a 0-100 index relative to the other terms in the same request, so every batch carries a shared anchor term and is rescaled against it. Without that, a term topping a weak batch would outrank a genuinely larger one from a strong batch, and the error would be invisible.
Occurrences, not articles. Each groups every report of one thing, ranked by how many independent newsrooms carried it rather than by article count — fifty aggregators on one wire story is one story.
