145 sources feed 150 entities across 8 BICS sectors. Signal ingestion runs every two hours; the network graph rebuilds daily. Five orthogonal signals - attention cascades, narrative drift, graph spectral shift, sentiment-momentum divergence, source concentration - score each entity daily. When the same companies, officials, and regions cluster in coverage weeks before a deal closes or a policy shifts, the network surfaces it. Node size tracks momentum. Color marks ML-assigned clusters. Edges represent co-occurrence in two or more shared signals.

SIGNAL: Washington PSI+2.54·2711 mentions and Donald Trump PSI+2.23·331 mentions are driving the highest-magnitude positive signals in the network, with FCC PSI+1.81·430 mentions showing regulatory acceleration. The strengthened DOD↔Pete Hegseth connection and rising centrality of DOJ (+2) indicate active personnel moves and enforcement repositioning within the executive branch.
SURPRISE: The five new connections clustering Democratic Party, Fox News, Politico, and Yahoo form an unexpected media-politics feedback loop across partisan divides. This cross-sector bridge (Communications ↔ Government) typically fragments during election cycles; the density suggests coordinated messaging infrastructure or shared advertising buys rather than editorial alignment, signaling either a campaign infrastructure play or third-party aggregation dominance.
SO WHAT: Market PSI sits at -0.0443 (flat, within 0.5 standard deviations of baseline, 13-day regime: NORMAL), but sector dispersion is sharp: Utilities (-0.69), Industrials (-0.48), and Health Care (-0.44) are all materially below zero, while Government sector entities (106 of 150 nodes) carry positive z-scores led by Washington, Japan (+1.90), and Italy (+1.73). This 120+ basis-point spread between Government and Utilities indicates capital is rotating toward policy-sensitive verticals; the 3 HIGH-regime entities suggest concentration risk in a narrow set of regulatory or geopolitical trades.
ACTION ITEM: Monitor FCC (430 mentions, +1.81 PSI) and DOJ (centrality +2) weekly through Friday for formal rulemakings or enforcement actions; if PSI stays above +1.5 for three consecutive days, expect binding regulatory announcements within 14 days. Short or hedge Utilities (-0.69 PSI) and Industrials (-0.48 PSI) until Government sector PSI contracts below +1.5, sign
