The reading privileges geographic density and operational priority, not raw volume. One immediate-priority fact can outweigh ten context items. Verification gaps between sources remain visible in the live feed.

1. Handle immediate-priority facts first — multi-source corroboration before any public decision.
2. Cross active provinces with the live map for exact geography.
3. Watch mobility, humanitarian access and extractive sites tied to named hotspots.
4. Return to situation dossiers for hotspot memory beyond this weekly.
