March 20, 2026 A news briefing that scores every story by real-world impact

"The news" is optimized for clicks. Meridian is optimized for impact. Every story gets scored across six criteria before it reaches a reader: global leverage, capital impact, temporal durability, career relevance, decision utility, narrative clarity. Stories below the threshold don't make it.

The highest-scoring story gets forward-looking analysis, downstream consequences, time horizons, what to watch.

The pipeline handles ingestion, clustering, summarization, and QA across 100+ sources.

I review every edition before it sends. Nothing goes out without my eyes on it.

Stack: FastAPI on Railway, Next.js on Vercel, Supabase, Resend, cron-job.org.

Around $45/month to run.

Live and sending daily. Capital Brief every Saturday. Free. meridian.email
