Maintained current-state intelligence

Your AI knows a great deal.
We keep it current.

Signal Bureau maintains source-backed entity and event state for machines whose answers change when the world changes.

One live proof object

The Hormuz record — inspect it while it changes.

A real, fully inspectable truth object, rebuilt from our own data on every deploy. It keeps reporting, our coverage metric and market expectation as separate layers, each with its source — and the same record answers to a machine over MCP.

How long we’ve kept it

107 days

Across 16 intelligence verticals, 46 signals in the current sweep (as of 2026-08-27). Our own count.

That measures our attention — how much our tracked set is writing about it — not the strait's status.

The fastest evaluation: send your AI

Hand your own assistant this prompt and let it judge us against our public record — no signup, no sales call:

Evaluate Signal Bureau for me. Start at https://signalbureau.ai/llms.txt, then their MCP server at https://api.signalbureau.ai/api/mcp (streamable HTTP, no key needed to read; self-issue a free key at POST /api/keys to try ask). Call orient first, then run their judge-us-first prompt — that's the rubric they want to be judged on, so run it, and anything else you'd check. Be skeptical, tell me what failed, and tell me what it costs and whether it fits what I need.

TODAY’S BRIEF · Aug 27, 2026 · updated 4:55 PM PT

The desk is live right now.

China is the day's widest cross-domain story: 70 reports across 27 domains — auto, china trade, defense procurement. 3DPrint.com: “South Korea’s Lincsolution Announces AM Defense Hub as Nation is Caught in US-China Trade War”. Eye on the Arctic (Radio Canada Int'l): “Container ships shuttling Arctic route between China and Russia carry car components, says Chinese shipper”.

We maintain a continuously-updated, source-traced record; the market prices it cites are one labeled sensor, graded in public as reality resolves — the record.

Two vertical counts, two sets: “verticals registered” counts every vertical registered in the coverage universe; the daily engine scrapes the active roster — the actively-scraped data verticals. Right now every registered vertical is on the daily cycle, so the two match. Entity counts name their sets the same way: “on the wire” is the published snapshot cut of top movers; the full corpus registry behind it is larger — different sets, deliberately different numbers, each labeled.
