Methodology

Methodology

Crestwire separates collection, summarization, and publishing into a repeatable pipeline.

How a brief is built

01

Source collection

Collect research notes, live articles, and market wires into one normalized input set.

02

Theme extraction

Compress only the desk-relevant moves into 2–3 themes instead of repeating every headline.

03

Session brief generation

Publish each brief in a fixed open/midday/close format so the next handoff is immediately clear.

Source-mode badges

Cards, detail pages, and this methodology page use the same source-mode labels and definitions. Report-level badges summarize the set; source cards show the actual freshness role of each input.

Live source

Collected in the same session or report date; used as the current live signal for the brief.

1d source

Published within the prior day; recent enough for the brief, but not the same-session live source.

Background reference

Older than the live window; used to provide context, baseline, or background rather than a fresh market signal.

Mixed source set

This report combines live, 1d, and background sources; source-level badges show which inputs are current and which ones provide context.

What you can verify directly

  • Each report shows source count, publish time, and where each source was used.

  • Automation drafts the structure, then humans confirm wording and layout before publish.

  • Briefs prioritize the next actionable decision point instead of long narrative explanation.

What this brief does not try to do

  • Not every article or research note appears in full. Low-relevance material is left out.

  • Use the source links on the detail page when you need the full original context.

  • Because briefs are session-based, always check the publish time if your desk runs in another timezone.
