We Rebuilt Everything. Here's Why.

CognioNews v2 — faster corrections, deeper analysis, and a 7-dimension framework that treats news like it matters.

Something was broken. Not just our hosting — though that was spectacularly broken. The real problem was deeper: we were correcting headlines but not going far enough. So we tore it all down, rebuilt from scratch, and launched the CognioAPI.

The Cogniosynthetic Corrective Engine v2

Every story now gets analysed through seven dimensions — not just what happened, but what's missing from the conversation:

Every correction now includes a Power-Knowledge Audit — who produced this narrative, for whom, and what power structures does the framing serve or obscure? Plus Solution Pathways grounded in evidence, and an Integrated Synthesis that weaves all dimensions together.

New Infrastructure

We've completely rebuilt the platform from the ground up — new server, new pipeline, new everything. The old system had reliability issues that were holding us back.

Stories now flow from discovery through AI-powered significance scoring, into the Corrective Engine, and onto the site — all within minutes, all automatically, all reliable.

CognioAPI — Open for Pilots

We've opened up the Corrective Engine as an API. Organisations can now submit their own documents for epistemic analysis — board packs, risk registers, policy documents, governance reports.

If it contains institutional meaning, we can audit it.

This isn't just a news aggregator with opinions. This is epistemic infrastructure — a system for making the knowledge structures behind information visible, auditable, and correctable.
