04 How it’s scored

  • Each alert watches the same six topics, set to check as often as its plan allows.
  • “First online” is the time on the publisher’s own page or feed, for the first source we found.
  • An alert’s time is when its message arrived: the email in the inbox, or the message in its app.
  • Missed means the alert ran after the story was out and didn’t mention it.
  • Not counted means we couldn’t read that alert’s message, it wasn’t running at the time, or the story fell outside its wording. It counts neither for nor against it.
