IRS
Internal Revenue Service — The U.S. federal tax-collection agency.
Coverage of IRS is holding steady : 16 signals on the latest tracked day, up 78% from its three-week baseline of 9, across 2 domains (unchanged from a week ago). That makes it the #59 most-covered of the 289 concerns we track.
IRS is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 9 signals a day across 2 domains (10 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 12+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 2. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
