# Market news synthesis

## Purpose

Reduce a noisy news set to developments that could change market understanding or business choices. The synthesis separates what a source reports from the implication an analyst draws.

## Scope

Review the dated news corpus for the requested window, identify material developments, cluster duplicate coverage, compare source claims, and state business relevance.

**Excluded:** real-time monitoring, trading advice, legal conclusions, publication, and claims based on unsourced social commentary.

## Data basis

- News articles, press releases, filings, analyst notes, and dated source links in scope.
- Competitor and market entity register with aliases and categories.
- Prior news brief and tracked issue list.
- Company strategy, product portfolio, and relevance criteria.

## Result

A concise news brief, source ledger, and watchlist of developments requiring follow-up research.

## Quality criteria

- Each item has publication date, event date when different, entity, source URL or document citation, and source type.
- Duplicate reports are consolidated without losing the earliest or most authoritative source.
- Fact, inference, confidence, and implication appear in separate fields.
- The brief distinguishes confirmed events from forecasts and commentary.
- Stale or contradictory reports enter the watchlist with an explicit reason.

## Instructions

Use event date for chronology when available and publication date for freshness. Prefer primary announcements, filings, and official releases over paraphrases. Never convert a forecast into an occurrence. Attribute every claim and retain conflicting numbers side by side. Relevance must name the product, segment, competitor, or strategic assumption affected.

## Adapt before use

Record the analyst’s access date alongside every external source.
This synthesis is a dated snapshot rather than a live alert stream.

- Define the monitoring window and market entity aliases.
- Add the company strategy and relevance criteria to scope.
- Specify source-priority and confidence labels.
- Set the watchlist owner and review cadence.
