How much of the system is automated, honestly
We don't hide that automation does most of the heavy lifting. Here's the honest breakdown.
Source ingestion: fully automated.
Every source we read updates on its own schedule. The system pulls, parses, and stores. Mateo built it. The team doesn't manually fetch anything.
Triage: mostly automated.
About 95% of raw signals are filtered out by the triage layer before reaching a human. The 5% that reach a human are the ones that scored above threshold for member-relevance.
Member-facing output: human.
Every brief that goes out, every alert that pings you, every note in the encrypted channel, written or reviewed by one of us. We don't auto-send to clients. The team writes. The system supports.
Why we're saying this.
Most clients assume more humans, less automation. The truth is: a small team can't do this work without serious automation. The truth is also: automation can't do the judgement calls that make this watch worth paying for. Both are true.
