Entities and Authority

What an Entity Is

An Entity is a semantic object tracked by the system—typically a Person, Company, Product, or Vendor.

Candidate Review Queue

When the AI reads an article, it highlights Proper Nouns it doesn’t recognize and marks them as Entity Candidates. These are pooled in the Candidate Review Queue awaiting human triage.

Approving, Rejecting, and Merging

In the Review Queue, you can:

• Approve: Turn it into a tracked Entity.
• Reject: Tell the system “don’t track this word.”
• Merge: Combine it with an existing entity (e.g., merging “MSFT” to “Microsoft”).

What Authority Means

Tracked entities generate Authority. If an entity is repeatedly mentioned in high-value, highly-relevant articles, its Authority Score rises.

How Authority Influences Content

Incoming articles that mention High-Authority entities are artificially boosted in your content feed. Tracking authority allows the system to surface industry thought leaders dynamically.
