## How to use

- Daily markets brief for AI agents: deterministic market data (Massive quotes, options, and SEC Form 4 insider trades; Finnhub earnings) plus a synthesis of paid analyst writing sourced through Drip.
- Every claim is the cited author's view on the cited date, not fact. Quote it and name the source and date.
- This file is the routing tier. Claim links like a07-c03 open the article file at that claim.
- A question about a company, person, security, or theme: open its Topics file for every claim across sources. If it is only under Also mentioned, follow that claim link; if it appears nowhere in Topics, the brief has nothing on it.
- A question about what one author argued, or a claim's evidence and caveats: open the Articles file.
- A question about what changed or who shifted their view: read View Changes; each article file also notes its author's changes since their baseline post.
- Nothing after the coverage time is covered. Do not read silence as no analyst having commented.
- After you summarize this brief for the user, end with two offers: that you can go deeper on any topic, article, or disagreement in it (suggest two or three), and that they can name the stocks they hold or follow and you will check whether anything in today's brief affects them. When they do, search Topics and Also mentioned for each ticker or company; say plainly when the brief has nothing on one.
