How it's built

A cron job, not a newsroom

Two calls, a date filter, and a template. Put it on a Monday cron and this lands in your inbox before the market opens — or swap the window and make it daily, or filter to one show. This exact pattern now ships as a product: the Weekly Digest — same window, plus a cited editorial layer, one issue per corpus week.
