Curation Notes
How this list is gathered.
These sources help surface possibilities for the RCID community. They are starting points for review, not automatic endorsements.
How the feed works
The radar refreshes from a curated source list, then filters for readable deadlines, source confidence, deduplication, and likely RCID relevance. Some high-value sources are email-distributed newsletters, including NCA COMMNotes, and are tracked as watchlist sources until a dedicated inbox parser is connected. Some sites limit automated access, change their markup, or publish broad listings where only a few items fit the feed, so not every call from every monitored source appears here.
