First Move is a daily-cadence library of intelligence briefs. Each brief surfaces verified facts, figures, and second-order deductions across one topic, then steps out of the way so the reader can decide.
Publish a daily, operator-grade intelligence brief on topics that matter to readers who decide for themselves. Facts and figures, named entities, conditional deductions — no prescription.
A library of morning briefs across domains where the second-order links are the value — geopolitics, sports, energy, real estate, technology, emerging risk. Fact-anchored, multi-source verified, free of PR. Indexed by date, by topic, and by the hidden chains between them.
Each daily brief is researched in the morning across a structured set of web sources. Every numeric is cross-verified against at least two independent sources before publication. The writing follows a fixed editorial template — events, story of the day, market table, fuel categories, what-if chess positions, G20 impact map, hidden second-order links, analyst pulse, watch list — so the reader knows where each kind of information lives.
The articles are authored by a Claude-Code agent on a cron schedule. The editorial rules — voice discipline, validation gates, no-prescription policy — are encoded in the agent's instructions and enforced by validation scripts that gate every fire. Errors are flagged and re-fired. Quality below the bar defers rather than ships.
