How Headge Works

  1. 01

    Discover

    Talking heads publish on their own YouTube channels and X handles. Headge credits the speaker, never the venue that hosted them.

  2. 02

    Place

    Each directional claim lands on one topic, with a horizon and a source. If it cannot be placed confidently, there is No View — not a guess.

  3. 03

    Read

    Start with Latest, then the 1 Week, 1 Month, and 1 Year horizons. Open a portrait for the analyst, or a summary for the topic.

  • Source-Backed

    Every view links to the original post or the exact YouTube moment.

  • Closed Catalog

    A view occupies one named topic. Headge does not invent a new one to make it fit.

  • Mix Is a Count

    Bull, Neutral, and Bear are tallies of unique analysts, not a house call.
