v15: Source Coverage Expansion — 5 New Feeds Across 4 Signal Groups
WakeUpNeo.ai adds five verified, free RSS feeds across four existing signal groups: South China Morning Post (geo), Outbreak News Today (health), Bleeping Computer and SecurityWeek (cyber), and EIA Today in Energy (energy). No blend weights change — this is a pure data coverage expansion, widening the pool of signals each group draws from.
Every signal group in WakeUpNeo.ai is only as good as the articles feeding it. A geopolitical score built on eight Western outlets misses a large slice of global reporting. A cyber score built on four sources — two of them institutional advisories that publish slowly — can go hours without new material when a major incident is unfolding. v15 is a targeted source expansion: five feeds, all verified as free and unrestricted, all added to widen the pool without changing any weights or scoring logic.
What was verified before inclusion
All five feeds were tested with live HTTP requests before inclusion. Thirteen other candidates were evaluated and rejected. Reuters and Dark Reading returned raw XML that could not be confirmed as parseable in a browser context. The IAEA press release feed returned HTTP 403. ProMED Mail's RSS URL returned HTTP 404 — the feed has been moved or removed. The Wired full feed is active but mixes AI articles with gear reviews, coupon codes, and World Cup coverage, making it unsuitable for the AI signal pool without category filtering that is not currently implemented. AP News via a third-party RSS proxy returned HTTP 403 — unreliable by design. Nikkei Asia returned HTTP 404.
Five new sources
| Source | Group | Veracity | Poll | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| South China Morning Post | Geo | 0.82 | 5 min | Authoritative Asia-Pacific news with strong China, Southeast Asia, and global geopolitics coverage. Published in Hong Kong, independent editorial line. Adds a perspective absent from the current geo pool of Western and Gulf sources. |
| Outbreak News Today | Health | 0.84 | 15 min | Specialist outbreak tracker covering disease events globally — avian flu, Ebola, meningitis, tuberculosis, and emerging pathogens. Fast-moving, incident-focused, and editorially rigorous. Supplements the institutional WHO/ECDC/CDC sources with faster incident-level reporting. |
| Bleeping Computer | Cyber | 0.85 | 10 min | The highest-volume cyber incident publication. Covers zero-days, ransomware campaigns, critical vulnerability disclosures, nation-state attacks, and malware distribution. Publishes multiple articles per day on active incidents. The most significant gap in the previous cyber pool. |
| SecurityWeek | Cyber | 0.85 | 15 min | Enterprise and critical infrastructure security focus. Strong ICS/OT coverage, vulnerability intelligence, and nation-state threat reporting. Complements Bleeping Computer's incident speed with deeper analytical and enterprise context. |
| EIA Today in Energy | Energy | 0.95 | 60 min | Published by the US Energy Information Administration — the highest-veracity energy source added to the system. Covers US and global energy supply, prices, grid operations, exports, nuclear capacity, and renewable transitions with authoritative data-backed reporting. The 60-minute poll interval reflects its analytical rather than breaking-news cadence. |
Cyber coverage doubles
The cyber group previously had four sources: CISA Alerts, CISA ICS Advisories, Krebs on Security, and The Record. CISA sources publish slowly — they are official advisories, not news articles, and days can pass between posts. Krebs and The Record are excellent but single-author or small-team outlets. Adding Bleeping Computer and SecurityWeek takes the cyber source count to six and dramatically increases the volume of scoreable articles available on any given day. The cyber score is computed from the top-5 articles in the pool, so more articles mean the score reflects genuine incidents rather than the most recent advisory regardless of severity.
Geo: closing the Asia-Pacific gap
The existing eight geo sources — BBC, Al Jazeera, NPR, The Guardian, Deutsche Welle, France 24, RFI English, and Arab News — give strong coverage of Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Asia-Pacific is underrepresented relative to its geopolitical weight. South China Morning Post publishes in English from Hong Kong, with a large editorial staff and the deepest English-language coverage of China, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Indo-Pacific security dynamics available from a non-state outlet. It has been independently editorially since its founding and was confirmed as a fully free, unrestricted RSS feed.
No weight changes
The v14 blend formula is unchanged: 27% geo + 16% health + 16% market + 14% cyber + 10% energy + 9% climate + 8% space + 8% AI. Adding more sources to a group does not change its weight in the final meter — it changes the quality and breadth of the pool that produces that group's score. A geo pool with nine sources will, on average, produce a more accurate geo score than a pool with eight, because more independent signals reduce the impact of any single outlet's editorial framing or publishing cadence.
