About
Business journalism
with a point of view.
Five sections. British. Every weekday at 06:45.
What we are
A daily briefing.
A working archive.
Most business media is designed to be consumed and forgotten. Read it in the morning, move on. The next day brings a fresh edition and yesterday's reporting disappears into an inbox, unsearchable and disconnected from anything that came before.
Briefed publishes every weekday at 06:45. Five sections. The archive stays searchable. Topics accumulate across editions over weeks and months. The reporting does not evaporate.
The editorial angle is UK-rooted with a global lens. Britain has a disproportionate number of world-significant business stories and an underserved premium briefing market. Briefed covers the global picture through the frame of what matters to people working in and around British business.
Proprietary data
CPIx,
the Consumer
Stress Index.
Beyond the briefing, Briefed publishes proprietary data. The CPIx (Consumer Stress Index) is a real-time composite index tracking consumer financial stress across the UK and US economies, updated every 30 minutes and freely available.
CPIx draws on six underlying components: wages and inflation, consumer credit, labour market conditions, retail demand, household savings, and energy costs. Each is normalised against historical baselines and weighted to produce a single 0–100 reading that moves in step with how stretched households actually are. The index is methodology-public, source-cited, and built to be referenced — by analysts, journalists, and policymakers — without paywall.
CPIx UK and CPIx US run in parallel. Briefed Intelligence subscribers get the underlying component series, historical exports, and the macro briefings that put each weekly print in context.
Editorial principles
01
Opinionated, not partisan
Business journalism earns trust by being direct about what something means. Briefed will tell you what it thinks. That is different from telling you what to think.
02
Brief by design
Five sections. Four minutes. The constraint forces prioritisation. If a story is in the briefing, it is there because it matters. The archive handles depth. The briefing handles speed.
03
Useful after landing
A piece of journalism that is only useful the morning it arrives is a weak asset. The archive is worth searching six weeks later.
