# News Signal Triage

News signal triage is the practice of converting unread news streams into a small number of decision-relevant signals, then clearing the inbox state so attention does not stay trapped in backlog maintenance.

## Core Judgment

The value of a news inbox is not the number of unread items preserved. Its value is the number of reusable signals extracted before the inbox is reset.

## Today Synthesis

Today's Gmail scan showed a concentrated macro-news cluster: inflation, energy shock, chips, AI litigation, geopolitics, and institutional/regulatory shifts. The operational lesson is that daily news should be handled as a signal pipeline:

1. Capture the strongest external signals.
2. Compress them with a pyramid summary.
3. Convert one implication into action.
4. Mark the stream complete.
