Cut list

What did not deserve your attention.

Scanning cuts…

Most AI news is not worth a decision. We show the filter, because the cuts are the product.

Verdict ledger

Calls have to come back for judgment.

Act and Watch items get resolved inside 30 days. Confirmed, reversed, or still pending.

ActDo something this week. Audit, test, patch, compare, or brief the team.
WatchWait for one named proof point. The card says what flips the call.
IgnoreNo decision changes. Skip unless your stack or market directly touches it.
Signal rooms

Where the raw signal comes from.

Forums are for early smoke. Official changelogs are for facts. Research feeds are for what may matter next. Never treat one room as the whole truth.

5 min Check official changelogs first. If the provider did not say it, treat it as a claim.
10 min Scan forums for repeated pain: broken APIs, surprise costs, bad evals, deploy failures.
20 min Pick one thing to verify. Reproduce it, ask a better vendor question, or ignore it.
