Your Morning Industry Brief

By Published

A standing job that reads a fixed source list every morning, drops what it already told you, separates confirmed from unverified, and writes the brief into Notion before you sit down.

Your Morning Industry Brief

What's inside

  • Why asking AI what changed in your industry gives you something fluent and unrepeatable, and what fixes it.
  • How to build the source list in three tiers, first-party sources, trusted publications and named people, by working backwards from the last five things that mattered.
  • The five fields every item has to carry, and why a missing one means the item is noise.
  • The de-duplication pass that stops the same story appearing all week, and the mechanical rule that splits confirmed from unverified.
  • The Ignore for now section, which is the half of the job most briefs never do, plus the full copy-paste standing prompt.

Who it's for

Professionals who need to know what changed in their field before the day starts, and who are tired of checking five places to find out.
