AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemNiche Gem

Filters signal from noise by tracking coverage across 81 global outlets instead of algorithmic trends.

Strengths
  • •Clustering by event rather than keywords solves the fragmented search problem effectively.
  • •Side-by-side narrative comparison across regions like CNN vs CCTV offers genuine insight.
  • •True heat scoring based on geographic spread beats simple volume metrics.
Weaknesses
  • •81 sources is a solid start but feels thin compared to GDELT or Bloomberg Terminal data.
  • •Beta phase lacks historical data depth needed for backtesting market correlations.

Post Description

Built this because I kept seeing stories early but couldn't tell if it was one outlet's angle or the whole world waking up to something real.
