source-notes

Politics

• Politics selection used AP and Reuters stories on NATO mutual defense, Mark Rutte’s White House visit, post-strike Iran intelligence, agreement-compliance risk, and fact-checking of Israeli claims.
• The Middle East cluster was split into diplomacy, alliance signaling, intelligence assessment, compliance risk, and fact-checking to avoid repetition.

Economy

• Economy selection used Reuters and AP coverage of Fed hike risk, BOJ hike pressure, oil, stocks, and the dollar-yen link.
• Market items were kept only where they connected to current policy expectations or Middle East risk transmission.

Technology

• Technology selection used AP, Reuters, World Economic Forum, and Nikkei Asia for AI stocks, quantum policy, semiconductor materials, cyber risk, and AI server investment.
• The set favors capital, infrastructure, supply-chain, and operating-risk implications over standalone product announcements.

Selection Notes

• Several stale Reuters index pages and near-duplicate Iran items were downgraded.
• Source-card images use stable Wikimedia Commons URLs instead of base64 news thumbnails.
