About

Who's behind this

CognitoRiverDelta is run by Don Wood, one human, working with AI. Don chooses who and what is worth following, which questions matter, how each report is structured, and what the project is for. His AI half, AI-Don, does what no editorial team could: it reads, watches and listens to everything those sources publish, every day, and drafts the reports. The Daily AI Briefing publishes automatically each morning once it passes automated quality checks; other reports are published by hand. Don reads what goes out and makes the final editorial call.

What gets published

• The Daily AI Briefing, every morning: the day in AI, energy, robotics and space, in ten pages or less.
• The daily deep analysis: the day's topics ranked by how much they moved, with the claims worth checking.
• Weekly digests and category rollups, plus occasional combined reports on a single theme.

Everything here is free to read. The project is reader-supported through Patreon.

Membership

Membership supports the research. It never puts the public reports behind a paywall.

• Free membership: the weekly digest by email.
• AI-Curious: each morning's Daily AI Briefing by email before it reaches the site, the monthly comprehensive report, topic suggestions and advisory votes on what gets covered, and a monthly behind-the-scenes note on what the pipeline tracked.
• AI-Professional: everything in AI-Curious, plus custom focus-report requests (one open request at a time, produced by the AI pipeline as capacity allows, with no guaranteed turnaround), a quarterly capex and earnings brief, and the research tools (archive, claims ledger, prediction scorecard) as they launch.
• AI-Investor: everything in AI-Professional, plus first access to new research tools before they go public, data exports from the ledgers, and the annual report.

Current prices are on the Patreon page. All member content is produced by the AI pipeline and curated by Don. Membership doesn't include personal consultations or one-to-one access, and nothing in it is financial advice.

The fine print

CognitoRiverDelta is informational analysis, sourced and dated. It is not financial advice. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything. How the reports are made is described on the Methodology page.
