Method
Record rules: a line appears only with a source link and an as-of date. Each indicator shows its latest value, the change from the prior reading and where it came from. Values are copied from the source, never typed from memory. World Bank figures older than 10 years are not shown. Where nothing is sourced yet, the panel says Not yet covered, names the planned source and the date we checked.
Heads of state and government: candidates come from Wikidata, but a name goes live only when it appears on the country's own official government page on the checked date and no later holder is recorded. A start date shows only when the official page states it next to the name. Everything else says Not yet covered.
⚡ Energy tab
The Energy tab follows the map: World, Country, State equivalent or City. It lists nine sources, each in its own slot: nuclear, oil, natural gas, coal, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal and emerging (hydrogen, biofuel, batteries, synthetic fuels).
Tagging. Each story in the news feed is filed to one or more sources by keyword rules on its headline and summary (for example reactor, uprate or uranium for nuclear), with exclusions such as weapons talks for nuclear or palm oil for oil. A headline hit counts double; a lone passing word in a summary is not enough. When a place has fewer than 4 stories for a source, the list adds clearly labeled stories from the next level up ("More from United States"). Sector feeds (agency releases and trade press for each source) were added for depth. Tags can be wrong; every story links to its outlet and keeps its verification badge.
Lifecycle stages. Each energy story also gets a stage chip with a plain label. Each label points to an official category: the economic type and the matching NAICS industry codes (North American Industry Classification System). Tap the i next to a chip for the codes and links.
Sector tabs: Raw materials, Manufacturing, Services, Technology, Policy
Five more tabs follow the five economic types: Raw materials (Primary), Manufacturing (Secondary), Services (Tertiary), Technology (Quaternary) and Policy (Quinary). They work like the Energy tab: they follow the map with the same labeled backfill, and each holds 6 to 8 segments in plain words. Each segment is based on official categories: NAICS 2022 sectors and subsectors, every code checked on census.gov, with the BLS industries index as the taxonomy reference. Tap the i next to a tab or segment name for its economic type, codes and links.
Policy is a convention. NAICS has no quinary sector, and definitions of the quinary sector vary. We map it to Public Administration (NAICS 92) plus the top leadership of companies (55), universities (611310) and nonprofits (813), following the common description of the quinary sector as the highest level of decision making (Three-sector model, Wikipedia).
Cross-listing. Energy stories also appear in the matching segment by their lifecycle stage: Extraction in Raw materials (Oil and gas, or Mining for coal, uranium and lithium), Generation and refining in Manufacturing (Power plants and refineries), Grid and distribution in Services (Utilities), Innovation in Technology (Research and science). Those stories carry a small "From Energy" tag. Segments are also filled by keyword rules on the headline and summary, the same way as Energy; tags can be wrong.
Top 4 this week. A brief is four short plain-language paragraphs about the most important things happening in one source or segment in one place. Briefs are written ahead of time by our research runs, three times a day, from the tagged stories and primary sources (company releases, agencies, regulators). Every item lists its sources with dates; an item without a source is rejected before it can publish. A brief older than 7 days is marked as such. Where no brief exists yet, the tab says so and shows the top stories instead. Nothing in a brief is generated in your browser.
Disclaimers
Not investment advice. A record of public information, not a recommendation to buy, sell or build.
No real-time coverage. The news column refreshes about every 6 hours; indicators change only when a sourced change lands; public series publish with a lag.
News locations are automatic. Each story is filed to the places its headline and summary name (World › Country › State equivalent › City), or to the outlet's home country when it names none. Tags can be wrong; every story links to its source.
PROTOTYPE marks example data for UX testing: fiction, not sourced.
X links are a search, not a source. "See what people are saying on X" opens a live search on X in a new tab. We do not show posts here; every story in the news column links straight to its outlet.
