🧭 Methodology – Daily Brief

Purpose: The Cycle-Jobs Daily Brief is an automatically generated editorial summary of the latest cycling-industry news. It provides a concise, balanced, and categorized overview of key developments from the last 24 hours.

Sources: Articles are aggregated from verified RSS feeds of leading media, brands, and publishers. Each “Source” link points to the official original website. Internal Cycle-Jobs URLs are used only for processing, never as credited sources.

Automation & AI Processing: The system aggregates new articles every 10 minutes via FeedWordPress, cleans and formats them with Make.com, then sends the dataset to OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo. The model summarizes, removes duplicates, and organizes news under 🏁 Competitions, 🚴 Products, 💼 Business, and 👥 Riders — using a factual, neutral, and editorial tone.

Editorial Review: Each brief is reviewed by the Cycle-Jobs editorial team to ensure factual accuracy, clarity, and fairness. Manual corrections or clarifications may be added post-publication.

Data Retention & Copyright: Source articles are kept up to 3 days in the “Veille” category for internal analysis, then permanently deleted. Only factual summaries and verified information are published — no full text or copyrighted media are reproduced.

Transparency & Ethics: This methodology is public and regularly reviewed to align with responsible AI, ethical journalism, and transparency standards in the cycling industry.
