Use this skill to build the recent-event layer for an AIFi company memo. Focus on what changed, when it changed, who reported it, and whether the source is primary, reputable secondary, or market commentary.
Inputs

Quality Gate
Do not present news as investment conclusion. Before finishing, verify:
- date range is explicit
- every material event has a source and publication date
- primary-source claims are distinguished from journalist or analyst framing
- stale articles are not mixed into "recent" results without labels
- rumors, leaks, and social-media claims are marked as unconfirmed
