An **Intel card** is the atomic unit of Rocket Intelligence. It is not an alert, not a notification, and not a raw data point. It is a structured read that connects signals into meaning: what happened, what it means, and why it matters to you specifically.

Intel cards appear everywhere in the product: your [For You](/intelligence/feeds/for-you) feed, the [Following](/intelligence/feeds/following) feed, [Watchlist](/intelligence/feeds/watchlist) detail views, and company pillar views.

## Card anatomy

Every Intel card contains these elements from top to bottom:

| Element                        | What it shows                                                                                                                                |
| :----------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Company name and timestamp** | Which company this Intel is about and when it was generated                                                                                  |
| **Magnitude badge**            | High, Medium, or Low significance rating                                                                                                     |
| **Headline**                   | A one-line summary of what happened                                                                                                          |
| **Detail paragraph**           | What was detected and its broader context                                                                                                    |
| **Pillar tags**                | Which pillars contributed signals (Business, News, GTM, People, etc.)                                                                        |
| **Watchlist name**             | If the Intel belongs to one of your watchlists, the watchlist name is displayed. Not shown if the Intel is not associated with any watchlist |
| **Tracking link**              | Connects this Intel to the lens you set for the company                                                                                      |
| **Quoted evidence**            | The raw source material supporting the interpretation                                                                                        |
| **The Trail**                  | The full evidence chain behind the Intel                                                                                                     |
| **Feedback icons**             | Thumbs up (quality signal) and bookmark (save for later)                                                                                     |

## Magnitude

Magnitude tells you how much a card matters relative to your priorities. There are exactly three levels:

| Level      | Meaning                                                        |
| :--------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **High**   | Material change that likely requires action or awareness today |
| **Medium** | Notable development worth monitoring over the coming days      |
| **Low**    | Incremental signal that contributes to a pattern over time     |

Magnitude is personalized. The same underlying signal may be High for one user and Medium for another depending on their role, lens, and followed companies.

## Expanded view

Clicking on an Intel card expands it to reveal deeper analysis:

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4/YBiKlNCEJpazX8ky/images/intelligence/feeds/following-view-pillars-light.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=YBiKlNCEJpazX8ky&q=85&s=626962ee18fb76f61607801aa7ea1f25" alt="Expanded Intel card with What This Means For You, What Could Make This Wrong, and View pillars button" className="block dark:hidden" width="2878" height="1800" data-path="images/intelligence/feeds/following-view-pillars-light.webp" />

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4/YBiKlNCEJpazX8ky/images/intelligence/feeds/following-view-pillars-dark.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=YBiKlNCEJpazX8ky&q=85&s=cde66ca6f93731b9ddd5df96a948b858" alt="Expanded Intel card with What This Means For You, What Could Make This Wrong, and View pillars button" className="hidden dark:block" width="2878" height="1800" data-path="images/intelligence/feeds/following-view-pillars-dark.webp" />
</Frame>

The expanded view includes:

* **"What this means for you"**: a personalized implication connecting the signal to your specific role and business context
* **"What could make this wrong"**: alternative explanations or caveats worth considering before acting
* **View pillars button**: opens the full pillar navigation for that company so you can investigate further

## What every card includes

Every Intel card gives you full depth:

* **Headline** summarizing what happened
* **What it means**: interpretation of the underlying signals
* **Why it matters**: the business implication for you
* **Magnitude**: High, Medium, or Low significance rating
* **Evidence**: the specific signals that contributed
* **Trail**: full sources, methodology, and reasoning chain
* **Confidence score**: how strongly the evidence supports the interpretation
* **Counter-narrative**: alternative explanations worth considering
* **Connected signals**: related Intel from other pillars or companies

## How cards are ranked

Intel cards in your feed are not shown in chronological order. They are ranked by a combination of factors:

1. **Magnitude**: High-magnitude Intel surfaces first
2. **Your pins**: pinned companies get priority positioning
3. **Your lens**: the reason you watch each company weights which signals matter more
4. **Your role**: from your profile, used to prioritize relevant signal types
5. **Recency**: more recent Intel ranks higher when other factors are equal

## Interacting with cards

| Action           | How                                   | Result                                                                       |
| :--------------- | :------------------------------------ | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Expand**       | Click the card                        | Reveals full detail, personalized implication, and counter-narrative         |
| **Save**         | Click the bookmark icon               | Adds the card to your [Saved](/intelligence/feeds/saved) collection          |
| **Feedback**     | Click thumbs up                       | Signals that this type of Intel is valuable to you (improves future ranking) |
| **View pillars** | Click "View pillars" in expanded view | Opens the company's pillar view for deeper investigation                     |

## What Intel cards are not

Intel cards are deliberately different from what other tools produce:

* **Not alerts.** An alert fires when a threshold is crossed. Intel interprets what the crossing means.
* **Not notifications.** A notification tells you something happened. Intel tells you what it means for your business.
* **Not raw data.** A data point is one number. Intel connects multiple data points across pillars into a coherent read.

<Tip>
  The best way to build intuition for Intel cards is to scan your For You feed daily for one week. After a few days, the format becomes second nature and you will instinctively know which cards deserve deeper investigation.
