The analysis desks
14 series written by the site itself, each on its own schedule, from data the pipeline has already committed: AAA’s reservoir readings, the US Drought Monitor, LUMA’s outage counts, the National Hurricane Center’s outlooks, PRPD’s crime statistics, the Census, DDEC’s incentive reports and the legislature tracker. Every number in an edition traces to a figure in that data; the prose is drafted by Claude against the same facts and checked back against them — a draft that states a figure the data does not hold is dropped for plain deterministic sentences. What follows is each desk, when it publishes, what it reads, and its newest edition. 4 of the desks have not published a first edition yet; they are listed with their schedule.
