  2. Compare bar lengths

    Bar length shows absolute token usage — longer bars mean more tokens consumed.

  3. Use the controls

    Play, pause, scrub through time, or adjust speed to explore at your own pace.

  4. Share the signals

    The insight cards summarize leadership, breakout growth, open-weight labs, and market concentration.
