I think you're using a weird definition of 'edge' here to mean "things that nobody else knows about" rather than the cutting edge of the industry/academia.
Academic publications occasionally float across the front page here that have only been public for a few days. That's pretty much the 'edge' of industry-wide knowledge.
If you want to include things that aren't public, that's super vague and sort of pointless.
