How it works

One beat. One dated article, one sourced answer. A named person on the gate, and the original kept beside what you said about it.

Five words this product uses

the wire
The stream of stories found on your beat, each with its source, its date, its publisher and why it matters to you.
the beat
The part of your industry that is watched: the publications, the topics, the competitors, the questions you want to be found answering.
the desk
Where a named person accepts, edits or spikes a story, and where the approval is recorded.
the file
Your profile, your positions, your prior work, your competitor notes, and the spike log. It stays with you.
to spike
To decline a story, with a reason and a date. Read beside what you published, the spike log is your positioning on paper.

The path of a story

Watch

  1. The beat is set. operated — With you, in a conversation: which publications, which topics, which competitors, which questions you want to be found answering.
  2. The wire sweeps, several times a week. operated — Every story worth answering arrives with its source, its date, its publisher and a plain line on why it is on your beat.

Draft

  1. The source is read, properly. operated — The article, what it cites, what contradicts it, what your competitors said, what you said last time. Not a keyword match.
  2. The source is captured. running — The page, a PDF, a screenshot and the text, each hashed and dated. This is the record. The record
  3. A draft is written from your file. operated — Your positions and your prior work, with the original headline quoted and the publisher linked. In English and Hungarian.

Decide

  1. Your named person accepts, edits or spikes. operated — Three actions, one person. The approval is recorded on the piece with a name and a time. There is no auto-publish switch. The desk you log into yourself is building .
  2. The original is kept beside the answer. running — Every published response ends with the original, live, and the original as preserved, with its capture time and its hashes.

What leaves, and what stays

PrivateWire fetches public pages. What stays with you is the file, the prompts, the drafts, the spike log and the decisions.

Goes out

Fetches of public pages: the article, what it cites, what your competitors published. The same pages your browser would load.

Stays with you

The file. The prompts. The drafts, including the ones you killed. The spike log and every decision at the desk. The piece itself, until your named person releases it.

Where your file lives

Why the gate cannot be turned off

A sentence published under your company's name cannot be unpublished. So the decision to say it belongs to a person, recorded on the piece with a name and a time.

There is no auto-publish setting, and there will not be one. Remove the gate and it is spam. The gate is the difference, and it is the whole product.
