How the AI Brief is made

AI for small service businesses: the tools, rules and changes that affect how an accounting or law firm, advisor, clinic, agency or trade business runs its office.

A fact goes in only if it was read on the original page that day: the company announcement, the government page, the filing, or a reputable outlet. Search snippets and roundups are never sources. Every item links the page it came from.

Each item carries the day it happened, taken from the source page, not the day we read it.

Facts and opinion are kept apart. Our view is labelled "What it means for you" or "Our view" and adds no new facts.

AI agents research, read the source pages and draft each issue under these rules. Every claim is checked against its linked page before publishing, and a claim that cannot be checked is cut. A day with fewer than three checked items gets no issue.

Closing figures only, labelled when they are not. We never recommend buying or selling anything and give no price targets.

No company pays to be covered. Westward sells AI consulting and software; when an item touches a Westward product, it says so.

Report a mistake to hello@westwardconsulting.ai. We fix it on the page, say what changed, and list it on the corrections page.
