This is the cut before the writing. A reader on any plan gets exactly this editor on their own topics; the stories marked RUNS are then written up — headline, three sentences, one cited link each — by the model, in one call, and sent.

Sources

Two query feeds exist for any string — Google News and Bing News, both free, both naming the publisher per item. On top of those, the model proposes up to eight publisher feeds for the topic, and each one is fetched and parsed before it is kept: a model will happily invent a plausible /feed.xml that 404s. A feed is polled once no matter how many readers follow it, and one that fails twenty times in a row is switched off and says so on your topic page.

The editor

Every headline is reduced to a signature and grouped with its rewrites. A group scores ln(1 + desks) × tier, where tier is the most authoritative publisher that moved it — so one Reuters exclusive beats five reprints of a press release, and a story every desk carried beats a story one blog carried. Ties are broken by spreading picks across the window, so a weekly brief covers the week rather than Friday afternoon.
