The pipeline runs every night. By 07:00 UTC, your brief is built, filtered, synthesised, and waiting.
The pipeline monitors 400+ sources continuously: financial press, newswires, regulatory filings, exchange notices, trade publications, and government releases. Coverage spans 40+ languages, with particular depth in Mandarin (Caixin, 南华早报, 财新), Arabic (Al Arabiya, Arab News), and Japanese (Nikkei, Yomiuri). Sources are not translated first — signals are extracted in original language context, which preserves meaning that translation systematically loses.
Every article passes three verification layers before it can enter synthesis. Layer one scores topical relevance against your watchlist — positions, sectors, geographies, counterparties. Layer two eliminates duplicates using a 7-day rolling content fingerprint, removing stories you've already seen even when they reappear in new sources. Layer three enforces strict source-grounding: every signal that reaches your brief must link directly to a retrieved article. Nothing is inferred, filled in, or synthesised without a source. The result is zero hallucinated claims.
Signals are classified by confidence level. Confirmed signals are sourced from at least two independent outlets with no material contradiction. Emerging signals are single-source or early-stage — significant enough to surface, but not yet corroborated. The distinction matters: a Confirmed signal on a merger is actionable; an Emerging signal on an acquisition rumour is a watch item. Your brief is explicit about which is which.
The filtered, scored, and classified signals are synthesised into four structured sections. Key Signals are the highest-relevance items demanding immediate attention. Worth Knowing covers important context that doesn't require action today. Thematic surfaces longer-cycle patterns across your coverage universe. Quiet tells you what's absent — the topics you're monitoring that produced no signal. That silence is often as important as the noise.
Daily briefs land at 07:00 UTC. Weekly briefs go out Monday morning. Delivery is via email. Onboarding is structured: before your first brief, you work through a configuration process that translates your actual context — positions, watchlists, counterparties, risk themes, geographic focus — into the configuration that shapes every brief you receive. It takes 8 minutes. You can update and refine it any time.
Most intelligence products send you the same brief as everyone else with a different logo. ExecIntelBrief doesn't work that way. Before your first brief, you spend 8 minutes completing a structured onboarding that tells the system exactly who you are and what matters to you.
That configuration is what shapes every brief you receive. Two people at the same firm receive completely different briefs. Expand each section below to understand how to get the most out of it.
This is the broadest layer — the sectors, geographies, and macro themes that define your world. Think about what you would brief a new analyst on during their first week. Energy transition? European credit? MENA supply chains? List them as themes, not headlines.
If you trade or invest in specific companies, name them here. The system will track all coverage, filings, and secondary mentions — not just news about the ticker, but about counterparties, regulators, and competitors that affect the position.
Add the entities you need to track: competitors, key clients, suppliers, issuers you hold, or firms you're diligencing. You can follow direct competitors as well as their subsidiaries and parent companies — specify which level of the corporate tree matters.
Example: if you cover a European oil major, you might add their three largest OPEC+ counterparties, two key EPC contractors, and the regulator that covers their upstream licences. The brief will surface news about all of them.
Specify the regions that matter to your coverage. This tells the retrieval engine to weight sources from those geographies, including non-English press. A fund manager covering MENA should flag Arabic-language sources; someone covering China industrials should include Mandarin.
You can also add specific sources by name if there's a niche publication — a regional trade journal, a government gazette, a specialised newswire — that you know is essential. We'll check whether it's already in the source pool and add it if not.
These are the cross-cutting risk themes that cut across your entire watchlist: regulatory risk, geopolitical exposure, FX volatility, ESG events, credit stress. The system uses these to surface second-order signals — a story about port disruption in the Red Sea matters more to you if you've flagged supply chain risk as a theme.
Be specific. "Sanctions risk" is more useful than "geopolitical". "CBAM compliance" is more useful than "regulation". Precision here directly improves brief quality.
Your configuration isn't fixed. You can update any section at any time — add a new position, remove a coverage theme, change your relevance threshold, or add a source. Changes take effect in the next brief cycle.
Users typically refine their configuration once in the first week after seeing what surfaces (and what doesn't). After that, most update it only when their coverage universe changes.
