THE THINKING BEHIND YOUR BRIEFING

How we choose stories.

Important developments first. Broader reporting in All coverage. Here’s how we select stories and group their sources.

01 · WORTH YOUR ATTENTION

Important

A story needs three things to qualify:

  1. A new fact.A new announcement, decision or material update. Republishing an old event doesn’t make it new.
  2. A concrete consequence.For the followed asset’s business, financial results, ownership, ability to operate, security or market access.
  3. Support in the reporting.Source evidence must support the new fact and its consequence. A separate AI verification pass checks the assessment before selection.
Major
Substantial consequences: for example, a material guidance change, consequential acquisition, regulatory decision or serious breach.
Notable
A specific new business or ecosystem development with a stated material consequence, below the Major threshold.

Price moves, predictions, analyst opinions, routine recaps and repeated facts don’t qualify on their own. A proposal stays a proposal; an allegation stays an allegation.

The selection considers eligible developments from the past 72 hours, prioritizing significance and then recency. Marking a story read changes its badge, not its selection or position. Essential shows up to three leads; Expanded shows up to five. Additional selections remain under “Show more.” Briefing depth is saved to your account and doesn’t change the assessment standard. There’s no minimum quota.

02 · THE BROADER REPORTING

All coverage

Switch to All coverage to browse reporting across your followed assets, newest first. It includes routine news and stories that haven’t completed their assessment.

  1. Follow your focus.Browse all your active follows together, or filter the reporting to one asset.
  2. Read the source context.Open a story’s context and sources to see the reporting behind it. Several reports about one event can share a story.
  3. Keep the gaps visible.Reporting may still be awaiting review, and some assets may have no available news. The review and collection status describe what is available.

The review counter covers a rolling 72 hours, so it can grow as reporting arrives. Reports without usable current source evidence, including a grouped event whose supporting source has changed, are counted as unavailable for classification rather than awaiting review. They aren’t treated as reviewed selections.

Appearing in All coverage doesn’t mean a story meets the Important threshold or has completed an AI review. Important selections remain in the main briefing.

Coverage and sources

Each story shows how many distinct source articles we’ve collected for that event. Open “Context & sources” to inspect the available reporting. More articles don’t establish greater significance, independent confirmation or truth.

Routine, Notable and Major describe classification categories. Article counts measure collected reporting and don’t change those categories.

Discover can include a fresh, source-supported Major development outside your active follows. It appears only when an eligible story exists; this reporting doesn’t change your watchlist or its read state.

Reading the signals

What changed
Pro comparisons pair a current report with selected earlier reporting about the same subject or a comparable period. Each side has its own source link. We review the comparison separately and show a gap when the evidence doesn’t support one. Earlier reporting comes from the preceding 120 days of retained coverage.
Articles tracked
The number of distinct source articles we’ve collected for that event. It measures collected coverage, not importance, independent confirmation or all coverage on the web.
Grouped reporting
Reports about the same event can share one story. Repeated coverage doesn’t raise its importance; material new facts can bring it back into view.
Reporting tone
A separate assessment of the source reporting about an asset. Positive or negative tone isn’t a price forecast or a measure of importance.
All coverage
The broader feed for your follows, newest first, including routine news and reporting awaiting assessment.

These are AI-assisted judgments and can be wrong. Coverage can be incomplete and reviews can be pending. Open “Context & sources” to inspect the underlying reporting and form your own view.
