Terms of Service

Last updated: April 28, 2026

Nature of Content

Apprised.news produces AI-generated intelligence briefs and market distillations. All analytical personas (Dr. Mara Voss, Rex Calloway, Elena Marsh, Sightline Markets Daily, Coiner's Credit Review, Alder Grove Memos, Kensington Macro Letter, Thicket Strategic Research, Brandenburg Valuation Notes, Probabilistic Reasoning Notes, etc.) are entirely fictional archetypes created for AI prose emulation. They are not real people, do not represent real firms, and do not represent the views of any individual or organization.

Fictional Characters and Fair Use

All persona names, firm names, and publication titles used on this site are fictional creations. They do not correspond to any real person, company, or publication. Any resemblance to actual persons, firms, or publications is coincidental.

The analytical frameworks referenced by these personas (structural geopolitics, demographic analysis, monetary systems analysis, credit analysis, cycle psychology, etc.) are publicly known intellectual frameworks discussed widely in financial and geopolitical commentary. References to real public figures and their published works (e.g., George Friedman's geopolitical framework, Peter Zeihan's demographic analysis, Mohamed El-Erian's macro risk approach, Lyn Alden's monetary systems work, Howard Marks's cycle memos, Jim Grant's credit analysis) constitute fair use for the purpose of identifying the publicly known analytical tradition each fictional persona draws from. These references describe publicly available ideas and do not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship by any referenced individual.

No trademarked publication names, proprietary research, or copyrighted text from any real-world publication is reproduced on this site. The fictional publication names (Sightline Markets Daily, Coiner's Credit Review, Alder Grove Memos, Kensington Macro Letter, Thicket Strategic Research, Brandenburg Valuation Notes, Probabilistic Reasoning Notes) are original creations.

Not Investment Advice

Nothing published on Apprised.news constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of professional advice. The Markets Desk content is analytical commentary produced by AI systems, not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. Consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Not Intelligence Product

Despite the intelligence-product format, Apprised.news content is not produced by intelligence professionals and should not be treated as authoritative intelligence analysis. It is AI-generated synthesis of publicly available news sources.

Accuracy and Reliability

We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee it. AI-generated content may contain errors, misinterpretations, or outdated information. All claims in briefs are grounded in source material from our news corpus, but the analytical interpretations are synthetic. Verify critical information through primary sources.

Source Attribution

News corpus is aggregated from publicly available RSS and Atom feeds by Corvus Intel (corvusintel.app). All source URLs cited in briefs link to the original publisher. We do not republish full article text.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use automated tools to scrape content at a rate that degrades service for others
• Redistribute briefs as if they were your own analytical product
• Present AI-generated personas as real analysts
• Use the service for any unlawful purpose

Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Brief generation depends on third-party APIs (Corvus Intel, Anthropic) and may be delayed or unavailable.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
