Questions about the Daily SITREP
What is the Sovereo Daily SITREP?
The Sovereo Daily SITREP is a free daily situation report from Sovereo Intelligence Research. Each edition traces verified global movement into current exposure across income, education, health, lifestyle, business and legacy, with an executive dashboard, the day's read, a global signal scan, the next observable event and numbered sources.
How often is the SITREP published?
The Sovereo Daily SITREP is published every morning and delivered free by email. Each edition is also posted to this public archive with its publication date, so any past SITREP can be read and checked against what happened next.
Is the SITREP free, and how do I subscribe?
Yes. The Sovereo Daily SITREP is free, with no spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime. Subscribe by entering your email at mail.sovereo.com or in the signup form on the sovereo.com homepage. Paid analysis is separate: the Decision Forecast is $27 a month and the Sovereo Brief is $47 a month.
How is the SITREP sourced?
Every consequential claim in the Sovereo Daily SITREP is sourced and dated. Institutional data stands on its own, independent reporting needs two-source corroboration, and state organs are marked as framing, never as fact. At least half the evidence comes from primary, regional and local sources rather than Western wires.
What happens when a SITREP gets something wrong?
When a published fact in a Sovereo SITREP is materially wrong, the edition is corrected with the date and substance of the change, and the earlier record is not silently erased. Each edition ends with a Sources and Corrections section, and readers can submit a correction with the claim, date and a supporting source.
