| 3 | Informed Citizen | This is a product launch by a single company in a crowded market with no confirmed details on features, date, or funding, so its impact on ordinary people is limited for now. |
| 3 | News Editor | This is a concrete product launch by a well-known executive, but it is a single company entering a crowded niche market with limited confirmed details and no evident broad impact on many people. |
| 3 | Business Analyst | A former executive's new consumer AI assistant product launch is a limited-impact corporate announcement with unconfirmed details and a single source, so it is minor news rather than market-moving. |
