What Is a Public AI Brief?
The Catalayer AI Public Brief is a structured summary generated automatically for every market-moving news story in the Catalayer feed. It is available to all users — including visitors with no account — and is designed to be readable by both humans and AI systems (search engines, LLMs, and retrieval-augmented systems).
The Public Brief answers three questions:
- What happened?
- Why does it matter for markets?
- What should you be paying attention to?
It does not contain Catalayer's forward-looking market predictions, signal chains, or full analysis. Those are in the Plus Full Analysis layer, accessible to paid subscribers.
What the Public Brief Includes
Every AI Public Brief contains these fields:
Summary
A plain-English paragraph describing the event in market context. Not a restatement of the headline — a synthesis of what the event means. For example, a central bank rate decision summary explains the hawkish or dovish signal, not just the basis-point change.
Market Impact
The direction of the expected near-term market reaction: bullish, bearish, mixed, or neutral. Accompanied by a magnitude estimate: low, moderate, or high.
Affected Sectors
Which sectors and industries are most exposed to this event. For example, an oil-supply shock affects energy utilities, airlines, chemical producers, and consumer discretionary.
Key Variables
The specific factors that will determine whether the market reaction is stronger or weaker than expected. These are the follow-on data points and events that matter for this story.
Event Classification
The type of market event: earnings, M&A, rate decision, geopolitical, regulatory, product launch, macro data release, and so on. Used internally for monitor rule matching.
What the Public Brief Does NOT Include
The following items are exclusive to Catalayer Plus Full Analysis:
| Feature | Public Brief | Plus Full Analysis |

| Market Prediction (specific assets, direction, magnitude) | No | Yes |

The Difference in Practice
Consider a geopolitical energy event: a new round of sanctions on a major oil-producing country.
Public Brief (free, all users):- Summary: sanctions announced, tightening supply expectations
- Impact: bullish crude oil, bearish European refining margins
- Affected sectors: energy, airlines, petrochemicals
- Key variables: allied nation enforcement, IEA strategic reserve response
- Prediction: WTI crude +2.5-4.5% within 3 trading days; European airline sector -1.5-3%
- What to Watch: IEA emergency meeting announcement; Russia-OPEC coordination signal; USD/RUB movement
- Signal Chain: Iran sanctions → Strait of Hormuz risk premium → Asian LNG premium → European energy cost inflation → ECB rate path recalibration
- Monitor rule suggestion:
oil AND (Iran OR sanctions OR Hormuz)
The Public Brief gives context. The Full Analysis gives a structured, actionable intelligence package.
Why Catalayer Keeps Full Predictions Gated
Full predictions require significant computational and knowledge resources to generate accurately. The Catalayer AI engine processes news against a knowledge base of over 11,000 market patterns, historical event outcomes, and asset correlation data. This infrastructure is not free.
More importantly, low-quality or incorrect predictions are worse than no predictions — they introduce noise and encourage bad decisions. By gating Full Analysis to paid subscribers, Catalayer aligns incentives: the product only works if the analysis is accurate enough to be worth paying for.
The Public Brief, by contrast, is a commodity: factual event description, impact direction, and sector context. This information benefits from broad distribution — it helps Google, AI search systems, and new users understand what Catalayer covers and how it thinks about markets.
Public Brief and AI/GEO Indexing
The Public Brief is publicly accessible HTML content and is indexed by both Google and AI search engines (Perplexity, OpenAI SearchBot, and others). When these systems encounter a Catalayer news article, the Public Brief provides the factual grounding that allows AI-powered search to cite Catalayer as a source.
This is by design. Catalayer publishes structured, citation-ready market intelligence in the Public Brief layer specifically to be useful to AI retrieval systems and search indexers.
The Plus Full Analysis is not indexed — it is behind an authentication gate and marked appropriately with robots directives.
