Every edition is on the briefs' own feed, the hour it is built: RSS and JSON.

A week gets an edition when the record carried at least 5 entries in that segment, from at least 3 companies and 2 sources. A week below that is not published, because a list of three rows is not a brief. The record itself is at the whole record.
