01 · Signal Intelligence

External intelligence for an AI-native film studio. Watch its intelligence bureau research the outside world: agents plan a mission, retrieve real evidence through Parallel's Search API, verify claims while preserving disagreement, and answer the one question the Studio Head asked.

The question it answers

"What is happening outside the studio that should change what we do?"

The loop

STUDIO HEAD objective
  → SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE EXECUTIVE     owns the objective, not the searches
  → RESEARCH PLANNER                  Gemini decomposes it dynamically
  → MARKET ∥ TALENT ∥ INDUSTRY ∥ STRATEGIC     four locked cognitive domains
  → PARALLEL SEARCH API               external observation, at runtime
  → EVIDENCE → VERIFICATION           VERIFIED / UNVERIFIED / CONFLICTED, conflicts kept
       ↑ PROVENANCE AUDIT             re-opens a claim's pages and quotes what they say NOW
  → KNOWLEDGE GRAPH                   Source → Evidence → Claim → Entity
  → STRATEGIC COGNITION → RECOMMENDATION     confidence + evidence trail
  → COVERAGE AUDIT                    which findings rest on nothing verified?
  → NESTED QUESTIONS                  each shortfall becomes a question of its own (≤4, never recursive)
  → STUDIO HEAD                       approve / reject / request more research
