I build AI products — agents, fintech tools, mobile apps — and I kept hitting the same wall: every "market signals" source was either hype or hearsay. Screenshots without receipts. Launch numbers without definitions. Failure claims without evidence.

So I built the thing I wanted to read: a weekly email where every number carries a source, every claim is graded by how strong its evidence is, and "we're not sure" is written down instead of hidden. InsightZing is that email.

It runs on the same pipelines I use for my own investment research — domain sales feeds, launch boards, public revenue disclosures — cleaned, tiered, and published every Monday.

Timeline

  1. 2023

    Registered insightzing.com — a name I believed in before the idea existed.

  2. 2023–2026

    The WordPress era: site installed, zero posts published. A parked domain and a lesson.

  3. Oct 2026

    Decision: the email is the product, the site is just where people subscribe. Old blog retired.

  4. Oct 2026

    Issue #01 ships — the dry run. Every claim sourced, tiered, and dated.

What InsightZing is not

  • Not news aggregation — we don't rephrase press releases; we verify claims against public sources.
  • Not opinions — numbers and evidence tiers only. The takeaway cites this week's data.
  • Not sponsored placements disguised as data — sponsor content lives outside the data sections, labeled.
