All data is sourced from public APIs: Hacker News (Algolia), GitHub (Search API), Stack Overflow (Stack Exchange API), Y Combinator (public batch data), OpenAlex (academic database), and SEC EDGAR (regulatory filings). Numbers reflect verified matches. Each item is checked by AI to confirm it's genuinely about the topic, not just a keyword overlap.
What the data tells us
5 independent sources show real activity around Anomaly Detection. Developers are building tools (GitHub), the tech community is talking about it (Hacker News), investors are backing startups in the space (Y Combinator), researchers are publishing papers, and enterprises are disclosing it in public filings. When this many unrelated sources agree, it's not speculation. It's market movement.
Why this data matters
We don't guess. We count what's actually happening.
Most trend reports are opinions. Inqvey Trends is different . We track what developers are building, what investors are funding, what researchers are publishing, and what enterprises are reporting to regulators. When multiple independent sources point to the same trend, it's not hype. It's a real market shift.
Hacker News
Community awareness (1-3 month lead)
GitHub
Developer creation velocity (3-12 month lead)
Y Combinator
Startup funding conviction signal
Stack Overflow
Technology adoption (3-6 month lead)
OpenAlex
Academic research (earliest indicator)
SEC EDGAR
Enterprise disclosure (strongest validation)
Each source is scored on a 0-100 scale based on activity volume. When a topic shows up across multiple unrelated sources (developers on GitHub, startups at Y Combinator, filings at the SEC) that agreement between independent signals is what separates real trends from noise. We use AI to verify that each result is genuinely about the topic, not just a keyword match.
Data freshness
Sources are scanned daily. Hacker News and GitHub reflect the last 14–30 days. Y Combinator covers the last 4 batches. Academic papers span the last 24 months. SEC filings cover the most recent quarterly and annual reports.
