X Pipeline

The X pipeline monitors configured financial queries and selected source accounts through an approved provider interface. NataPulse does not treat the user’s ordinary X following feed as a free external data API.

Collection model

Queries can cover:

• core financial voices;
• company and executive accounts;
• ticker catalysts;
• macro and market-regime topics;
• registry-based coverage of reviewed corporate sources.

Collection is constrained by provider access, query rotation, rate limits, and budget policy.

Source registry

A candidate account is not automatically trusted. Sources move through statuses such as unverified, verified, rejected, or needs review.

A reviewed corporate source can receive a higher reliability treatment. Executive accounts require cautious review because role changes, impersonation, and personal commentary create additional ambiguity.

Processing flow

X post
  → provider response and source identity
  → raw observation
  → text and timestamp normalization
  → entity and cashtag resolution
  → duplicate and relevance checks
  → source reliability and rumor gates
  → importance and confidence
  → published event when eligible
  → social cluster and wider cross-source cluster

Corroboration rule

An unverified standalone post should not become a high-confidence event or alert simply because it uses urgent language. Independent news, a filing, market behavior, an official source, or another reliable domain can strengthen the evidence.

What users see

Eligible X events can appear in Live Pulse, Social Radar, Event Explorer, clusters, narratives, reports, Deep Research, and Analyst citations. The original source link remains available when safe.

Limitations

• deleted, protected, restricted, or unavailable posts may not be retrievable;
• provider access can introduce delay or incomplete historical coverage;
• source verification does not guarantee that every statement from the account is accurate;
• post volume does not equal source independence;
• sentiment and social velocity can be manipulated.

Social evidence is therefore useful for detection and context, but should be read alongside source identity and corroboration.
