News that teaches.
Class that thinks.
The Brief turns real business news into classroom-ready cases — with Socratic prompts, devil's-advocate flips, and educator tools that pull the thinking out of your students' heads.

What you get
One platform. The newsroom on the left,
the classroom on the right.
A real newsroom
Fresh business stories with attitude — featured pieces, quick hits, trending tags. Generated daily, written for young professionals and curious students.
Every story → a case
One click turns any article into a teaching case: context, key players, the tension, and where it stands. The structured prep you wish you always had.
Facilitation, not answers
Switch on Facilitation Mode and the case flips into Socratic prompts and devil's-advocate counters — so the thinking stays with your students.
Educator depth tools
Teacher Mode notes, an Undergrad ⇄ MBA ⇄ Exec difficulty selector, and a one-click Quiz Builder. Save into Lesson Packs, copy or print on the way to class.
How it works
From today's news to tomorrow's class.
Three steps. Five minutes of prep. A discussion students remember.
Pick a story
Browse the Front Page or Newsroom — by category, tone, or trending tag. Every article is class-grade.
Browse stories →Open the case
One click reveals the structured case: context, players, tension, outcome — plus discussion questions and frameworks.
Run the room
Flip on Facilitation Mode, choose the depth, project the questions. Save the case to a Lesson Pack — or generate a quiz on the way.
Open the studio →For educators
Built so the thinking stays with the students.
The Brief is 100% educator-facing. Students don't log in, sign up, or click anything here. Instead, you get sharper prompts — Socratic questions, devil's-advocate counters, depth-aware rephrasings — so you can pull the context, the players, the tension and the stances out of their heads, not hand them ready answers.
