Research disclaimer: SEC Form 13F holdings are quarterly, delayed, and non-transactional — filings do not reveal trade dates, prices, or motives. Synchronized institutional changes and shifts in retail attention are descriptive candidate signals, not causal evidence of directed herding.

Research safeguards
• Pageviews measure attention, not trades, investor identity, buy/sell direction, or causality.
• Automatic company-to-Wikipedia mappings require human validation before publication.
• Failed automated mappings are excluded from the pilot, never fabricated. Only … securities currently carry a validated Wikipedia article.
• Google Search Volume Index remains the preferred robustness comparison if reproducible academic/API access becomes available.
