competitor-news-monitor

Define a watchlist with company names, domains, and event categories, then schedule a recurring job that searches official newsrooms, pricing pages, regulatory filings, and trade press from the last successful cutoff. Deliver cited digests to your preferred channel.

Cover the official newsroom and changelog, pricing and product pages, regulatory filings and investor relations, status and security pages, reputable trade and financial press, and job postings as weak supporting evidence for each tracked company.

Deduplicate by underlying event rather than article count, collapsing syndicated rewrites, URL variants, press release coverage, and revised filings into one entry while keeping independent corroboration attached as evidence.

A source failure means unknown coverage, not absence of news. The monitor records failures as coverage gaps and only advances the cutoff for successfully covered sources to prevent silently losing material events.

Use a competitor monitor when you need materiality scoring, event categorization, and primary-source citations for a defined company set. Use a generic feed reader for broad blog subscriptions without business-significance filtering.
