Three criteria decide board placement.
How we choose
| Criterion | Question | Example shape |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Does it change what a reader does today? | A service hour change gets a bullet; background waits for the explainer. |
| 2 | Can two independent sources confirm it? | A notice plus a second document — never a single anonymous line. |
| 3 | Can it be said plainly without losing accuracy? | If jargon cannot be cut, the piece stays off the board. |
What gets left off: hype labels, unnamed leaks, figures on the public site, and copy that reads like investment advice.
Left off the board
Pieces that fail any criterion wait on the tray — not hidden, just not chalked up.

What this means for you
You see only what passed all three tests — or an explicit note that something is waiting.
Criterion one filters noise: if a filing does not change what a reasonable reader does today, it waits for the explainer shape or stays off the board entirely.
Criterion two is mechanical: two independent paths must confirm the claim — a notice plus a second document, or a named spokesperson plus a published record.
Criterion three is read aloud at the pavement table. If jargon cannot be cut without losing accuracy, the piece returns to the tray until plain language is found.
Pieces that fail any criterion are not hidden — they sit on the tray with a short reason until they pass or until the week closes with an explicit gap note.
