How it works

How a headline becomes your morning briefing.

Every hour, our system aggregates news from over 30 RSS feeds and initiates a multi-step filtering process to identify the most significant geopolitical events. This continuous monitoring enables us to build a rich historical context, allowing events to evolve into comprehensive threads rather than isolated headlines. A secondary evaluation then assesses the severity and potential market implications of each event. Throughout the day, our system synthesizes these long-lived events into a cohesive digest, providing a unified view of unfolding developments, accompanied by predictive insights.

Ingest

30+ global sources scanned every hour.

Triage

Every headline scored 0–10 for severity; assets tagged.

Cluster

Related headlines merge into long-lived events.

Analyze

Bull / base / bear scenarios with probabilities and watch-fors.

Digest

Several times a day, a coherent briefing. Free on the web — paid in your inbox.

The big picture

Outcomes you can feel, mechanisms you can trust.

Three things you walk away with, and three things that make them possible.

01 · OUTCOME

Stay informed in 4 minutes

One coherent briefing, several times a day. The context a friend in finance would text you — on a dashboard & straight to your inbox.

02 · OUTCOME

Catch black swans early

The pipeline runs hourly. High-severity events trigger same-hour alerts. Quiet days stay quiet.

03 · OUTCOME

Understand what moves markets

Every event gets bull / base / bear scenarios with probabilities, asset impacts (FX, commodities, equities), and the signals that would confirm each.

04 · MECHANISM

Events live, not headlines

Stories cluster across sources and survive for days. New headlines update the picture — they don't restart the alarm.

05 · MECHANISM

Every thesis has an expiry

We tell you what would prove each scenario wrong and when the analysis goes stale. No evergreen handwaving.

06 · MECHANISM

AI in the open

A multi-stage pipeline triages hundreds of headlines every day, clusters them into events, analyzes scenarios, and writes your briefing. We show the work — sources, confidence, and what we don't know.

The line we don't cross

What we don't do.

There's a market full of services that will tell you what to buy. This isn't one of them — by design.

We don't tell you what to buy.

No "buy signals". No "strong sells". You make the call — we just make sure you're not surprised by what's moving the world.

We don't sell predictions.

We sell probabilities with expiry dates. Every scenario tells you what would prove it wrong, and when the analysis goes stale.

We don't write opinion.

No analyst pretending to know. The pipeline reads the news, scores it, tracks it, and explains it. The bias of a guru, removed.

Questions

Things people ask before signing up.

Is this financial advice?
No, by design. We never tell you to buy or sell. We give you context; you make the call. Black-Swan & Volatility Monitor is an information service, not a registered investment adviser.
What sources does it read?
Reuters, BBC, Al Jazeera, GDELT, FT, Bloomberg, Politico, Nikkei Asia, Defense News, Foreign Policy, plus macro and sector feeds across AI, cyber, defense, pharma, and commodities — 30+ feeds in total. The shortlist is shown at the top of the landing page.
How is this different from a Bloomberg terminal or a Substack?
Bloomberg shows you everything. Substacks tell you their opinion. We do one job: surface what could move markets and explain it neutrally — every day, multiple times, in 4 minutes.
What if the AI is wrong?
Every scenario has a probability and an invalidation date. We tell you what would prove it wrong. The model can be wrong — we make the wrongness visible, so you can judge our track record yourself.
Can AI really call a black swan?
No one can. But an AI that reads 30+ global sources every hour can flag the first tremors days before a human curator would. That's the bet.
Can I customize what I get?
The dashboard supports multi-level filtering — by asset, event type, severity, and source. Email and notification settings can be tuned individually so each subscriber gets exactly what fits their workflow.
How often will I hear from you?
It's up to you. Opt into every qualified event (severity ≥ 5), or set a higher threshold so only the loudest signals reach your inbox. We usually recommend starting at severity 7 — high-conviction events, minimal noise.
What does it cost?
Your first briefing is free — read it, then decide. Three plans: $9.99 a month, $49.99 a year, or a one-time $99.99 for lifetime access. Cancel anytime.
