Known Observations

Where the machine still stumbles, and what we are doing about it.

Sometimes one event lands on two cards, or two near-identical stories both appear.
What we are doingWe retune the merge thresholds every run and added a same-event cap so one story cannot fill the front page.
Every score is rule-based and traces to specific words in the coverage. Thin coverage reads as no clear lean.
What we are doingWe keep expanding the lexicons and calibrating against known outlet ratings. The Deep Dive shows the full distribution behind every score.
The top stories get the fullest write-ups. Lower-ranked cards can read more mechanically, or surface a raw excerpt.
What we are doingThe summarizer now covers all fifty displayed stories, and a sanitizer repairs run-ons and stray credits before they ship.
1,016 sources span 158 countries, but well-resourced English outlets dominate the mix.
What we are doingWe are widening the non-English source list and weighting regional outlets up where a story is local to them.
Death tolls and counts come from different outlets reporting at different hours, so the same event may show one number here and another there.
What we are doingWe surface source count and spread so you can see how firm a number is. Cross-card reconciliation is on the list.
One run at 11:00 UTC. Breaking news mid-day waits for the next edition.
What we are doingThe once-a-day rhythm is deliberate, a newspaper not a scroll. A lighter mid-day refresh is under consideration.
The sanitizer neutralizes shouty, clickbait headlines, but a raw one can get past it before we catch it.
What we are doingWe keep growing the desensationalizer's shout list and clickbait rules as new ones appear.
The weekly essays and daily brief are machine-drafted under strict rules. An occasional clunky line gets through.
What we are doingEvery generated line runs a show-dont-tell and no-em-dash check. Failures get retried or flagged.
