Work's cost-cutting turn shows up in four separate stories at once

Starbucks, streaming subscriptions, a tutoring firm and the games industry each cut cost or headcount this week; radar's own work board sits at its third-highest deviation of the eight domains while the sweep reaches the same domain from four different industries.

A confirmed move.

The number is how far this window sits from what this domain normally does, per 100 sources reporting, against the stamped days before it, so a day on which more sources reported does not read as a busier domain. Above zero is busier than usual, below zero quieter. It says the volume moved; it does not say why, and it is not a share of anything.

This is the counted layer: how much the feeds we read published about work, per source reporting, against what they usually publish. The story above is the heard layer, written from sources. They are kept apart on purpose.
