We've built a predictive analytics suite that forecasts where geopolitical volatility will happen around the world — including events like civil protests, labor strikes, and regime changes.

Our systems monitor digital conversations on open-source social and collaborative media, and use statistical and machine learning models to combine these signals into near-real time indexes of political volatility within any given country, operational footprint, or topic of interest. Specifically, we've built:

- A data platform and a large taxonomy and database of past geopolitical events
- Machine learning and statistical systems for identifying data sources indicative of volatility
- Benchmarking and backtesting tools to verify their validity
- Visualizations and alerting systems that identify locations and topics with increasing volatility

Our tools are built for users from analysts to directors, in sectors like nonprofits, media, multinational corporations, and government.
