Where demand signals run ahead of mapped supply — the United Kingdom
Every demand signal in the United Kingdom’s newsflow, measured as a share of the
country’s own coverage (2025-07-01 to 2026-07-01, against the year before), then scored beside
family-matched supply — the companies in each signal’s mapped edtech
categories — as within-page percentiles. The gap is signal percentile minus supply percentile
— a prioritisation clue in percentile points, not a market size.

The keywords are the fastest-growing terms in the United Kingdom coverage of this page's demand families, measured as a share of that coverage year-over-year so volume drift cancels.
