What's on the wire

Four desks, one feed.

Rule-based tagging, fresh news only — a deliberately lean vertical, not a trimmed-down copy of the crypto product.

TICKERS

Ticker + name tagging

Rule-based symbol and company-name matching against a curated S&P 500 / Nasdaq registry.

TOPICS

Eight-topic taxonomy

Earnings, M&A, IPOs, dividends, analyst ratings, executive changes, litigation, macro.

SOURCES

Growing source registry

13 live-verified sources today, added incrementally the same way the crypto registry grew.

LEAN

No sentiment, no LLM cost

Deliberately fresh-news-only — keeps this vertical cheaper to run and cheaper to sell.
