The Standing Frontier Sweep — RDKG's twice-weekly heartbeat

The metronome of the garden. Where the EdKG → AllowED beat watches one regulated world on a monthly pulse, the Standing Frontier Sweep watches the whole frontier twice a week — the growing tip doing what a meristem does: extending, on a dependable rhythm, into new territory.

The veins. Eight of them, chosen to cover both the meaning gardens and the money gardens: human health & longevity (HKG), AI & the machine layer (TKG / the moat thesis itself), materials & building (BKG), agriculture & robotics (GKG/FKG), and the four commercial veins the founder added — marketing (MktKG), fashion (FshKG), resale goods (ResKG), and crypto & agent-commerce (the x402 / AP2 rails that let verified ground truth be sold to machines).

The loop. Read the lessons → sweep wide for leads → deep-verify the keepers against a primary → card the survivors → log what changed → validate to zero errors → hand the founder the build. Leads (podcasts, news, threads) are candidates only; a card exists once a primary source and a date are attached. When a draft and the primary disagree, the primary wins and the divergence is flagged.

Why a feed, not a one-off. RDKG's whole wager is that verified, freshly-measured ground truth is the scarce input as intelligence collapses toward free. A wager like that has to be restocked on a rhythm, or the freshness — the only thing that makes it defensible — decays. Twice a week is the heartbeat that keeps the moat wet.

Cadence honesty. "Verified" always means verified as of a date. A card that has not been re-checked past its freshness window is a candidate for re-verification on the next sweep, not a permanent truth. Sources that go dark are flagged, not silently dropped.
