Orrery

Orrery, a daily brief on where money and technology are going

A daily brief on where money and technology are going, sent every weekday before the market opens. We source every claim and score every forecast.

Set for Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Each marker sits where today puts it. Markets come around once a week. The frontier takes ten years.

From the center out: markets, compute, energy, biology, orbit, frontier.

Know what moved before the market opens.

Every weekday, Orrery reads what the biggest banks, funds and companies published, what the frontier built, and which forecasts came due. Then it tells you what moved, in five minutes, with a link to every source.

Six rings, one map.

An orrery shows each planet moving at its own speed. The economy works the same way. Markets move by the day and the frontier by the decade. We follow six rings, from the center out, and tell you what moved.

  1. Markets

    What the biggest money says and does. Bank outlooks, fund letters, the Fed, and the filings that show real positions.

    Citadel, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, the Fed, 13F filings

  2. Compute

    AI chips, data centers and the power deals behind them. Who is spending, how much, and where.

    Earnings calls, capex guidance, power contracts

  3. Energy

    Solar, nuclear, fusion and the grid. Energy is the floor every other ring stands on.

    Energy Institute, IEA, EIA, grid queues

  4. Biology

    Longevity, gene editing and new medicines, from first trial to approval.

    FDA approvals, clinical trials, bioRxiv, PubMed

  5. Orbit

    Launch, satellites and the space economy, now with public stocks attached.

    FAA licenses, FCC filings, launch results

  6. Frontier

    Orbital data centers, asteroid mining and ideas on the scale of a Dyson swarm. The far rings, measured.

    Papers, patents, company timelines

Built to be checked.

Sourced

Every claim links to where it came from: the filing, the paper, the earnings call or the launch log.

Dated

Every number carries the date it was true. When something changes after we publish, we say so.

Scored

Forecasts go in the Ledger with the exact words and a deadline. We score them in public, our own included.

Independent

No company pays to be covered. Sponsors are labeled. If we hold something we write about, we say so in that issue.

Five minutes, before the open.

One email every weekday morning. What moved, who said it, what it means and what to watch next. Every item links to its source.

The Signal

AI compute is leaving the planet. Now there's a schedule.

Starcloud trained a language model in orbit in December 2025. Google launched its Suncatcher prototype this fall. Elon Musk says SpaceX's first AI satellites, built with Nvidia, launch in Q4 2027.

Starcloud. NPR, Oct 1, 2026. Light Reading, Aug 25, 2026.

The Money

Alphabet's 2026 budget: $195B to $205B.

Raised in July from $180B to $190B. The third quarter alone came to $51.4 billion.

W.Media, Jul 23, 2026. AI Weekly, Oct 28, 2026.

The Ledger

Wall Street's 2026 calls. Scoring Dec 31.

DB8,000MS7,800WFC7,800JPM7,500HSBC7,500

Who was right, scored in public.

Banks set targets. CEOs promise dates. Funds publish theses. Almost nobody checks later.

We log every forecast we cover with the exact words, the date and the source, then score it when it comes due. A track record can't be backfilled, so every week we log adds to a record nobody can copy later.

The Ledger League

A forecasting game for members. Season 1 runs January 4 to March 31, 2027.

Season 1 starts in 54 days.

Make the call

Each question is a dated milestone in technology or the economy, like whether a launch flies or a product ships by a set day. You answer with how sure you are, from 1% to 99%.

Get scored

Points reward being right and knowing how sure to be. Say 90% and you score 99 if it happens and 19 if it doesn't. The leaderboard runs in the brief every week.

Earn the badge

Every season has its own digital badge, shown next to your name. The top 10 earn the gold one. Leave mid-season and you drop off that season's board.

Launch Nights

During major launches, members follow a live thread with the brief's context in real time: what's flying, who paid for it, and which Ledger forecasts ride on the result.

No stock-price questions and no cash prizes. The League is a skill game about where things are heading, not investment advice.

Membership

Monthly or yearly. Cancel anytime. The first 100 members on each plan pay half, for as long as they stay.

Checkout opens at launch. Read the sample brief while you wait.

Questions

What is Orrery?

A daily brief on where money and technology are going. We follow what the biggest institutions say and do, what the frontier is building, and which forecasts come true. Then we explain it in five minutes.

Who writes it?

Orrery is built with AI. AI tools read the sources, draft each issue and check it against those sources. A person reviews every issue before it goes out. Every claim links to its source, so you can check it yourself.

Is this investment advice?

No. Orrery is general information and analysis, the same for every reader. We never tell you what to buy or sell. Talk to a licensed financial adviser about your own situation.

When does it arrive?

The brief lands every weekday before the US stock market opens. The Week Ahead comes every Sunday, and deep dives come twice a month.

What's in a deep dive?

One big shift, taken apart: who is spending, how much, the dated milestones ahead and the strongest case against. Members get two a month, plus the archive.

What's the difference between Member and Insider?

Insider is the yearly plan. It costs less than 12 months of Member and adds the quarterly State of the Future report, the members' Q&A and a vote on the next deep dive.

What is the founding price?

The first 100 members on each plan pay half: $19.99 a month for Member or $199 a year for Insider. You keep that price for as long as your membership stays active. If it ends and you join again later, the price at that time applies.

What is the Ledger League?

A forecasting game included in every plan. Each season runs one quarter. You answer dated questions with how sure you are, and the leaderboard runs in the brief. There are no cash prizes.

Can I switch plans or cancel?

Cancel anytime from Member login. You keep access until the end of the month or year you paid for. To move between Member and Insider, email us and we'll switch you over.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. If Orrery isn't for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we'll refund it in full.

Do you own what you cover?

If we ever hold a stock or asset we write about, we say so in that issue.
