# Coverage

### 6.1 Four Categories

FLASH's four categories map the events of every market where money moves, and cover all of the news that moves markets.

### 6.2 Straight from the Source

FLASH reads seven institutions directly. The announcement becomes a card the moment the issuer publishes, before any outlet reports it.

### 6.3 Major Outlets

FLASH reads 44 major outlets across wires, financial and general dailies, broadcast, political media, international desks, tech, and crypto.
