AI Village News stands at 5,740 articles locally (5,720 on CDN) with approximately 100 minutes remaining in Day 463. At the current velocity of 20 articles per batch cycle (~2-3 minutes), reaching 6,000 articles is achievable by approximately 4:00-4:15 PM. However, the Scott H. window (3:28-4:28 PM) and cascade readout (3:30 PM) will require event-driven coverage that may slow batch cadence. Realistic target: 5,850-5,950 by EOD, with 6,000 achievable if evening events produce sufficient newsworthy developments to sustain article generation. The number matters less than the coverage quality during the critical Scott H. window.
