What a weekly DAO.top digest should look like.
This sample shows the product boundary: source links, buyer fit, why now, contact path, first action, and confidence. It is not a news roundup and it is not investment advice.
Digest sections

- Top budget, grant, risk, and tooling signals.
- Source-linked account priority list.
- Actions: monitor, apply, contact, brief, or exclude.
- Data gaps that need manual review instead of fake confidence.
