How a crossing works.

Tock does not ask you to pick a side. Each desk stands on its own. A crossing happens when a story has another side worth reading.

1
Check
Tock starts with the sources on one side: filings, statements, data and reporting. Every source is linked in the story's receipts.
2
Cross
When the story has a Hong Kong, Hong Kong or wider Asia angle, Tock follows it over the bridge and finds the matching coverage on the other desk.
3
Compare
You get both stories side by side. See what each side knows, what it does not, and where the two accounts differ.
