The sources
We gather public posts from Hacker News and Reddit for each topic we watch — the threads where engineers, employees, and insiders actually talk. More forums are being added over time.
The read
A local AI model reads each topic's posts and distills them into one aggregate read: overall sentiment, the recurring themes, and the specific rumors circulating — each tagged with how much weight the crowd gives it.
The rules
Aggregate only. We never republish individual posts or usernames, never quote anyone verbatim, and never present a rumor as fact. If a topic is quiet, we say so rather than invent a story.
