How it's put together

Every story is sourced and linked, and the ones that turn out to be overstated get said so. Not every release matters — most of them change nothing for a working creator. Each brief closes with a takeaway written for someone running their own thing, and where the honest answer is "nothing to do here yet", that is what it says.

It is free and it stays free. The Roundtable is where the workflows behind it get built, but nothing is held back from the brief to make the paid thing look better.
