Key Strengths

1. Breaking news lead: Reuters exclusive from this morning (PE war) 2. Direct synthesis: Zero "According to" scaffolding 3. Multi-story synthesis: Capital concentration spans 4 stories 4. Citation density: 21 inline links across 6 stories (target: 4-10/story) 5. Actionable heuristics: 4 concrete decision rules from evidence 6. Strategic depth: Structural analysis (PE war = distribution play, not innovation)

Learning Extracted (Step 7)

Since iteration 1 passed (≥91), no iteration comparison available. However, the report demonstrates several successful patterns:

1. Lead with breaking news: Reuters exclusive (published this morning) anchors timeliness 2. Layer stories chronologically: Breaking (March 23) → Recent (March 19-22) → Research (March 17) 3. Cross-reference earlier context: Pentagon dispute, Kiro pattern, North Star project 4. Synthesis in Implications: Capital concentration + infrastructure consolidation + governance gaps 5. Heuristics from evidence: Each heuristic directly cites report findings
