SIMS

Methodology

How SIMS works

SIMS reads from a curated source list four times a week and produces a structured weekly digest. Two language-model passes do the work — one to filter, one to enrich.

The pipeline

Four-stage pipeline: Ingest, Filter, Enrich, Surface INGEST FILTER ENRICH SURFACE

Filter and score

Each item is read by a language model that scores it on two dimensions: topic centrality (is this materially about AI or algorithmic systems?) and relevance (is this directly actionable for an Australian public sector AI practitioner?). Items below the relevance threshold don't make the weekly digest.

What SIMS deliberately doesn't do

  1. No full-article rewrites. Summaries are short syntheses, not paraphrased article bodies.
  2. No sentiment scoring. A regulatory enforcement action isn't a "loss"; a policy launch isn't a "win".
  3. No personalisation. Every reader sees the same catalogue and digest. No login, no tracking, no behavioural feed.
  4. No alerting. SIMS is a curated four-times-a-week and Monday-morning rhythm, not a real-time stream.
