Compare annual mix, monthly seasonality, and denominator choices

An interactive 2018–2025 topic index with exact catalog counts, shares, comparison years, and a 2025 month view.

This index counts one primary metadata label per catalog sermon. It lets readers compare raw volume with topic share across 2018–2025, then inspect 2025 month by month.

The largest 2024–2025 movement is mostly catalog uncertainty: total volume grew by 1,218 sermons, while the ambiguous label grew by 1,198, or 98.4% of the net change. The specialist mix is broadly stable.
