Story Engine

A diversified, evidence-linked daily editorial assignment queue.

The assignment desk

Where a statistic becomes a reporting lead

The Story Engine ranks evidence without pretending to replace journalism. Eight analytical lanes create a balanced daily lineup for articles, video, newsletters, and broadcast notes.

Eight reporting lanesOne leading candidate from each analytical category prevents a single metric from owning the news cycle.
