The map — each dot is a US state. Click one to filter news and industries to that place. Colors are quick economic context, not the main story.
The news feed — headlines for your state. When we can infer it, cards list sectors the story may touch and a short “why” line. Browse all articles on the News page.
The ? icons — plain-English tooltips on jargon (LQ, Goldstein, health bars, and more).
