Refreshed through the day

The news, attached to the idea it belongs to.

A headline on its own teaches nothing. The pipeline reads what published today, finds the topic it belongs to, and writes the question that connects the two.

What is a Pulse brief?

Pulse is current affairs, attached to a concept. Each event is turned into a question and mapped into the library, so it lands on the idea it belongs to instead of floating loose. An event that lands on a topic is one you will meet again the next time you open that topic, in Learn or in an exam syllabus.
