01
Trace
What changed, what source proves it, and which audience is already asking.
Radar method
A publishing signal is only useful when its distance, direction, and strength are visible.
The radar page describes how Publast Top separates a promising topic from a publishable note. The sweep begins with source proximity, then checks the pressure around timing, reader intent, citation value, and update risk. The goal is not to make every idea larger. The goal is to make the right idea easier to aim.
02
Measure
How confident the claim can be, where ambiguity remains, and whether the note needs caveats.
03
Aim
Which headline, summary, and canonical path will preserve the meaning after publication.
04
Release
When the page should ship, how it should be updated, and what future reader should see first.
Sweep cadence
A topic is reviewed in short passes so the team can see whether evidence is increasing or merely repeating.
Signal weight
Primary material, firsthand updates, and clear public need carry more weight than commentary that cannot be traced.
Release measure
The final decision compares usefulness against uncertainty, then records the reason a page deserves its own URL.
