A 3–5 minute news post is a briefing, not a runbook. Keep the source and the vendor's primary page in another tab, quote only what they printed, and write down the single decision this story forces (upgrade, wait, or ignore) before you Slack it to the rest of the team. If you need more than that decision, you want the primary docs or a later engineering deep-dive — not another recap of HCL Technologies Invests 1427 Crore in Sarvam AI.
