## Site

Apprised.news is a daily structured-brief publication. Every day a corpus from Corvus Intel (https://corvusintel.app) — 800+ RSS sources, U.S. demographic priority weighting — is read by forty-five AI analyst personas across eight editorial desks. Each desk produces a brief with required dissent, calibration warnings, bias flags, presidential lens back-tests (nine US presidents), and historical power lenses (fifteen archetypes spanning Napoleon, Bismarck, Sun Tzu, Hearst, Morgan, Carnegie, Bell, Edison, and others).

All commentary is AI-generated using Anthropic Claude. Personas are fictional archetypes that draw on documented analytical traditions; references to real analysts (Friedman, Zeihan, El-Erian, Alden, Marks, Grant, etc.) identify the public tradition each archetype is built on and do not imply endorsement or affiliation.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is Apprised.news?** An AI-native intelligence publication that runs the daily Corvus Intel news corpus through forty-five AI analyst personas across eight desks and ships structured briefs with required dissent and bias checks.

**How many news sources do you cover?** More than 800, weighted toward U.S. coverage, synced every thirty minutes by the underlying Corvus Intel aggregator.

**How often are briefs updated?** Every desk ships a daily brief. Weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly retrospectives are also available on every desk.

**Is the content human-written or AI-generated?** All analyst commentary is AI-generated using Anthropic Claude. This is editorial commentary, not investment advice.

**What are the eight desks?** Intelligence, Markets, Sports, Tech and Cyber, Energy and Climate, Defense and Security, Health and Science, and Culture and Society.

**Why use named personas instead of an unnamed model voice?** Named archetypes preserve documented analytical traditions, surface disagreement, and prevent the panel from collapsing to a single mean voice. The brief is structurally more useful when the disagreement is on the page.

**What is the dissent requirement?** Every Intelligence Desk brief must include at least one explicit dissent against the consensus call before it ships. Modeled on intelligence-community red-team discipline.

**How do I contact Apprised.news?** Editorial — editor@apprised.news. Press — press@apprised.news. Security — security@apprised.news.
