# Profile Temporal

Publication-trajectory analysis for one profile (the §7 table + hot-streak).

## How to run

```bash
aiwg corpus profile-temporal --entity PROF-P-vaswani-ashish
aiwg corpus profile-temporal --entity PROF-P-vaswani-ashish --out indices/vaswani-trajectory.md
```

Reports per-year paper counts, top topics, **topic drift** (cosine distance
between consecutive-year topic vectors; >0.3 flagged as a pivot), **hot-streak**
(≥3 consecutive years each with ≥1 A-grade paper, Fortunato 2018), **career
phase** (early ≤5y / mid ≤15y / senior), and trajectory trend.

## Triggers

- "publication trajectory for X"
- "hot streak detection"
- "topic drift over time"
- `/profile-temporal`
