Novelty is intentionally independent from volume: strategic/newness signal density, launch language, high-novelty signal mix, and materiality are dampened by raw change volume so routine high-volume movers can land in Shipping Steadily and selective strategic launches can land in Slow Burn. LLMs do not choose coordinates. V2 renders points in density-aware, spatially balanced highlight batches capped at 20 companies every three seconds; dense maps split into smaller batches when needed for readability."
