the data stories are already in your api. this engine surfaces them.
surface scans crustdata's people, company and headcount endpoints for numbers that break their own trend, scores each one on how postable it is, and drafts the post — in the same register the crustdata team already writes in. every figure links back to the exact api call that produced it.
probe the api→score the surprise→draft the post→publish a page that re-runs itself
minting spends a real crustdata api credit per new company. when the demo key is tapped out you'll land on the pre-scanned stories instead — never on an estimate.
