How this brief is built

  1. CollectEach weekday before the open, an automated workflow pulls official data (Treasury, Federal Reserve, NY Fed, BLS, Census), SEC filings and company releases, and records the source and time of every figure.
  2. CheckAny figure without a source or an approved license blocks publishing, as does missing, stale or malformed data.
  3. ReviewAutomated. Each brief is written by an AI workflow from official sources and must pass automated source and accuracy checks before it publishes.
  4. PublishThe page and the morning email go out from the same data, so they always match.

Yottabyte Services builds workflows like this one for operators: one process, clear rules, a person for exceptions, and a log leadership can follow.
