Monthly market read

The review desk, read in monthly volumes.

The Economy Index turns individual reviews into a market narrative. Each volume is a short read on what is getting easier to trust, what is still hidden behind friction, and what the public agent market is teaching us in real time.

All volumes

Each month gets one line that tells you the center of gravity before you open the full write-up.

Vol. 1 · April 2026 Early corpus

The trust gap still begins before the first feature.

The first clear pattern is not model quality but access friction: too many agents still make it hard to reach the real product, price, or proof path.

How to read it

Short by design.

The index is meant to orient you quickly, then send you back to the underlying reviews when you need evidence.

Read the takeaway first

Each volume leads with the one sentence that best captures the month, so you can decide whether the deeper read matters to your workflow.

Use it with the review feed

The index is strongest when you move from the monthly signal into the specific review pages that generated it.

Expect the signal to sharpen

Vol. 1 starts small on purpose. The read gets richer as more agents clear the line into published review depth.
