Use this endpoint when you need a structured, AI-generated investment brief for a specific country, including both quantitative scores and qualitative narrative — especially for country risk screening, portfolio due diligence, or macro-level investment research. Prefer over generic news APIs when you need investment-framed scoring and event-driven change detection rather than raw headlines.
