The sources we read

Signal Bureau reads by source class, and says so. Primary records and regulators carry the most weight. Peer-reviewed journals and specialist trade press anchor domain claims. Global wires supply breadth. Open community channels (Reddit, Hacker News) are read as early, unverified indicators — never as corroboration. Below: the roster, then the domains and regions it covers.

The roster, by class

Each name links to that source’s site (opens in a new tab).

Representative, not exhaustive. Receipted claims name and link their sources; unreceipted attention signals are labeled as leads, not sourced claims.

From sources to signals

Everything above is on the desk’s standing reading list. Coverage is curated for relevance. Every alias of a name resolves to one entity, so the same story connects across domains. The result is cross-referenced against live prediction markets. What reaches you is the distilled end of that pipeline — what moved, why it matters, what to watch — with the sources attached. How fresh each layer is, stated honestly, lives on the API page.

Two disciplines police the pipeline. Every claim ships with its source named, and a second, independent model cross-checks generated text against the source material before anything is published. And every probability we publish is graded when reality resolves it — the running scorecard is public at the track record. Prediction-market prices are a sensor we cite, never a substitute for reporting.
