0 stories, ranked by what is likely to matter to a careful reader in the next 72 hours. Scores reflect our editorial rubric (signal / frame / evidence / fit).
How we score stories
Each score is the sum of four dimensions. Numbers are static, on purpose — a ranking, not a live chart.
SIGNAL
Does the story move a serious thread, or repeat an existing one?
FRAME
Is the author explaining the thing, or borrowing a vendor frame?
EVIDENCE
Primary sources, named, with receipts the reader can chase.
FIT
Does the read length match the value? Long reads earn their minutes.
