Straced is not a newsletter, not a magazine, not a dashboard. It's an analyst's workbench shaped for scan-first reading and depth.

Everything lives inside a single unified site shell — the same chrome (sidebar + bottom nav) is present from the first paint. There are two content registers:

• Pulse — the entry surface, structured short content tracking what's moving in the AI stack right now. Every item is rendered through a specific lens: Numbers, Friction, Shifts, Rulings, Quotes, Moves, Capital, Breaks. No generic "Headlines" catch-all — if a piece of news fits no lens, it is not Straced-worthy.
• Depth surfaces — five structured intelligence-brief surfaces (Trajectory, Arena, Relationships, Dossiers, Parallels) plus the raw-feed and reference shelves (Drops, Threads).

Straced reads official sources first — company blogs, arXiv, GitHub releases. Secondary coverage only when it adds something the primary doesn't.

Source selection is editorial and is not influenced by sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or subscription status.

The platform stacks in three planes:

• Pulse — what's moving right now. Short, scannable, frequent.
• Graph — the static map of the AI stack. Arena clusters by domain, Dossiers track companies, Relationships map connections.
• Synthesis — overlays on the graph that connect motion to meaning. Trajectory frames the forward view; Parallels applies historical patterns.
