How Pulse is made
Sourced & linked
Every story names and links its original source. Numbers trace to filings, earnings calls, or reputable reporting — estimates are labeled as estimates.
Original angle
Headlines are written here, never copied. Each story carries by-the-numbers context and “Trace’s Take” — the analyst read you won’t get from a wire clone.
Never stale
Two editions daily. Freshness gates block stale leads from publishing — on thin news days Pulse runs original analysis, not recycled stories.
Corrected visibly
Errors get fixed on the page with an updated stamp — substantive ones get noted in the text. Report one and it’s reviewed within ~24 hours.
The full sourcing, corrections, and independence standards live in our editorial policy.
