Watch what you do not control. Keep the proof.
All capabilities · In build
Sooner or later every part of an organization needs to watch something it does not control: a price, a filing, a job board, a competitor, a tender, a feed, a policy page. Left alone, each part grows its own fragile watcher, its own storage, and its own alerts, and none of them can prove what they saw.

The loop, owned once
Register a subject
A consumer states what should be watched and how often, in terms of the subject rather than the mechanics of fetching it.
Run on a schedule
The runtime owns timing, retries, rate discipline, and the record of every attempt including the failed ones.
Keep the evidence
What was observed is stored as captured, with time and source, so a later claim can be checked against what was there rather than against a summary.
Score it into findings
Raw observations become opportunities, matches, and changes worth attention, through rules that are inspectable rather than intuition applied in private.
Emit an alert
Findings leave as events on the shared backbone, which means any product, automation, or person can subscribe without a private integration.
Why evidence rather than notification
A notification says something changed. Evidence says what it was before, what it is now, when that was seen, and where it came from. The first is a nudge. The second is something a community can act on, argue with, and defend later.
Boundaries that keep this honest
Collection respects the source
Access rules, rate limits, and terms are part of the contract, not obstacles to route around.
Findings are not decisions
The runtime produces evidence and scores; whether to act stays with the domain, the person, or the governed automation that has authority to.
Retention is a stated policy
Evidence has a lifecycle, and it is written down rather than left to whatever the storage bill allows.
