Capital and faucets

Where the money opens and closes.

A faucet is a monitor of one public source of capital: Grants.gov, SBIR, CHIPS, SBA loans, Horizon Europe, SEC filings, prize challenges. It reads the source each day, and an agent folds what is new into the faucet's files.

From a source to an event

A faucet is a monitor and its files.

Each faucet's monitor reads its sources on a schedule, most once a day. New records wake the faucet's agent, which files each one into the cycle it belongs to. Each opening, closing, award or filing is also an event, with evidence back to the cycle file.

How a capital faucet worksA faucet's monitor.tsx reads its public sources, such as Grants.gov or the Federal Register, on its schedule. New records wake the faucet's agent once, with the prompt that faucets.tsx gives every faucet. The agent folds the records into the faucet folder's cycle files, keeping each record's source, URL, reader and time. Each opening, closing, award or filing becomes a line of events/capital/<faucet>/<month>.jsonl, which the forecaster counts.The publicsourceGrants.gov · SBIR ·Federal Register ·SECcapital/<faucet->/monitor.tsxevery 6 h to 7 daysThe agentwakesfaucets.tsx: oneprompt for everyfaucetCycle filesa round's<cycle>.json, astream's .jsonlevents/capital/-<faucet>/opens · closes ·awarded · filedHow a capital faucet worksA faucet's monitor.tsx reads its public sources, such as Grants.gov or the Federal Register, on its schedule.

One wake for every faucet.

What every faucet shares: the prompt its agent wakes with when new records arrive. The faucet's own monitor names its sources and calls publish with the class of its records.

Last night's run

3,361 records filed, one source blocked.

The capital keeper ran 11 faucets over 24 sources at 02:48 UTC and filed every record it read. DARPA's source through SAM.gov is blocked until the account has a SAM API key, and the log says so. The forecast scorer then found 17 forecasts, none due yet.
