  type: PropertyValue
  value: No definitions, explanations, or AI-relevant context provided for any listed item; No attribution, sourcing, or timeliness indicators for any claim
additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: Combines brand authority (CNBC), feed-labeling signals ('ai_technology'), and vague action language ('need to know') to create an illusion of relevance. The framing makes the absence of substance feel like efficiency rather than omission — the main tension is between the implied depth of 'five key things' and the total lack of explanatory content, validation, or AI linkage.
