what's in each issue

The Probe
One delta from this week’s Manufacturing API or CAD agent leaderboard. Real data, not vendor PR.
Five Signals
What’s actually shipping — pulled from HN, GitHub, vendor changelogs, Reddit. Each ends with a "what I’d do" angle.
One Thing to Try
A specific tactic you can apply Monday — not a "10 tips" listicle.
Keyword to Watch
One breakout search term in the niche. So you can see what’s coming before it’s obvious.
The Build Log
What I shipped this week, what broke, what I learned. First-person, no humble-brag.

why this exists

Most "AI in manufacturing" content is vendor PR or shallow trend roundups. I publish primary research — running weekly probes against manufacturing APIs and CAD agents, tracking who actually ships and who doesn't.

The newsletter packages that work plus the strongest signals from the open web into one Tuesday morning email. The goal is to be the email you open before you open Slack.
