What's true about TheBuySide right now.
Soft launch is not open yet. The site is behind Cloudflare Access while the editorial calendar fills and the cross-engine CME view stabilises. If you can read this page, you are on the dev allowlist.
State of the columns
| Column | Cadence at launch | Pieces drafted | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Allocators Desk | Daily digest, named long-form weekly | 8 | Editorial framing + structural pieces drafted; news-driven pieces start when the research-spine watcher promotes verified entries. |
| CME Tracker | Quarterly | 0 | Cross-engine aggregate live on /cme; cross-house panel folds in as external CME publications are loaded. |
| Manager Watch | Long-form, ~2/month at v1 | 14 | First profile in queue; ships when primary-source verification completes. |
What is shipping with v1
- Three Allocators Desk pieces (welcome / publishing-landscape framing / methodology).
- The cross-engine CME aggregate on the CME Tracker landing.
- A first Manager Watch profile to be confirmed before the v1 cut.
- Soft-launch subscribe list, member-gated reading after launch.
What is not yet wired
- The cross-house external CME panel.
- The newsletter send infrastructure (Listmonk, planned on MS-02).
- Public landing (the site stays behind Cloudflare Access through soft launch).
Why this page exists
A site behind Cloudflare Access at this stage tells the dev-allowlist reader nothing about whether the publication is live, what is shipping, or when. This page is the running answer. It updates whenever the state changes.
