Argus Brief.
The morning read
that lands before breakfast.

The simplest way to start with Argus — no platform to learn. A short, plain-language email twice a day, written for the decision-maker who needs the picture before the morning stand-up, not the analyst who builds the dashboard.

02 · Why Core ships a preview

Core ships a three-item preview. Brief tells you why each item matters.

Core includes a deliberately short daily brief — three items, no analysis, no ranking. It tells you what happened, not why it matters. The full Brief adds the analysis, ranks items by impact, and is signed from a verified domain so it lands in the inbox, not the promotions tab.

03 · How items are ranked

Ranked, sourced and signed by your domain.

Every item is sorted into one of three levels. Every claim links back to its source. Every email is signed from a verified domain so it lands in the inbox, not the promotions tab.

Move the needle

Actions that change the direction of policy — passed resolutions, sanctions instruments, a topic named for the first time, a shift in voting patterns. Always carries a why-it-matters note.

Worth watching

Tabled motions, committee work and written questions worth your attention. A why-it-matters note is added when an analyst would flag it.

Background

Procedural items, low-impact statements and passing mentions. Listed for completeness in a single "+ more" line at the foot of the brief.
04 · How the brief is put together

A six-hour pipeline. Twice a day.

The morning edition lands at 06:00 in your timezone, the evening edition at 18:00. Every claim is checked against its source before the brief is sent — if it cannot be verified, it is held back.

Step 01−06:00

Gather

Parliamentary records, committee transcripts, written questions and alliance dispatches from across the parliaments you follow — normalised and timestamped.

Step 02−04:00

Rank

Each item is sorted by impact — move the needle, worth watching, or background — with a confidence rating so you know how much to weigh it.

Step 03−02:00

Write

A short why-it-matters note is drafted for the high-impact items, against your priorities. If a claim cannot be traced to a verified source, the item is not sent.

Step 0400:00

Sign & send

Verified sender, encrypted delivery, your branding. It lands in the inbox at the time you set — not when our queue clears.
