Editorial methodology

  1. 15+ verified RSS sources across editorial publications (Skift, Phocuswright, FT Travel, Hospitality Net, Hotel Technology News, Lodging Magazine, FlightGlobal, Airline Weekly, Globetrender, VentureBeat AI, L'Agenzia di Viaggi, ETC Corporate) plus Reddit communities for ground-truth sentiment.
  2. AI-powered discovery via Perplexity for stories behind paywalls or Cloudflare. Five topic queries refreshed every 12 hours: AI in travel, hotel tech, DMO strategy, aviation AI, travel-tech M&A.
  3. Per-cluster ranking by number of distinct editorial sources covering the same story (cross-source citation count), then optional Claude Opus 4.5 editorial curation for the ticker.
  4. Concise AI summaries capped at 150 words via GPT-4o-mini or Claude — every story is read, distilled, and tagged with extracted topics.
  5. Human editorial filter on the weekly Travel Intelligence Brief and podcast: Mirko reviews, contextualises, and adds B2B perspective before publishing.
