⚙️ Phase 2: Filtration Interface
The Filtration Interface is the essential next step after the initial diagnostic scan. Its purpose is to sift through the vast volume of media content and highlight the most relevant, reliable, and actionable articles that truly matter to you.
Using advanced metrics like emotional triggers, informational density, and revenue purity, Phase 2 helps you:
- Filter out noise and sensationalism by identifying emotional baiting and manipulative framing.
- Focus on impactful stories that offer real insights or practical value.
- Understand the emotional and cognitive effects media content can have, using the seven deadly sins as a diagnostic lens.
- Prioritize content by urgency through time sensitivity analysis.
This phase transforms raw media data into a curated table of articles ranked by their Public Benefit Index (PBI), providing a clear, digestible overview that empowers smarter media consumption.
