Searches a month is the Pulse's reading now, in Google Ads' scale for the US; cost per click and ranking difficulty are Google Ads keyword estimates.
+5,000% is Google's Breakout cap, not a measured change.
The weekly series is sparse and jumps week to week (volatility high); read its direction, not its size.
The 12-month forecast is fitted to a noisy series; treat it as unknown.
