Crisis Radar
Catch a crisis at hour two, not hour seventy-two.
Detect emerging controversies before they hit the trade press. Monitor every brand, talent, and entity that matters and surface only what is actually breaking out.
How it works
The exact thing your team is trying to call.
Probability a controversy reaches mainstream media within 72 hours, with severity tier and recommended posture per archetype.
- 72-hour breakout probability per emerging story
- Severity tiers calibrated to historical reputation impact
- Stakeholder map showing who is amplifying the story
- Recommended posture against a library of crisis archetypes
- Continuous monitoring with no per-query rate limits

Use cases
What teams actually do with Crisis Radar.
Greenlight reviews for crisis radar
Run scoring on a portfolio of candidates and surface the ones whose crisis radar signals diverge most from their internal narrative.
Continuous monitoring
Subscribe via webhook and receive a payload only when the score crosses a threshold you defined. No dashboards required.
Cross-vertical analysis
Pull the same entity into other verticals to see whether the signals agree or disagree. Disagreement is often where the alpha is.
Backtesting before commitment
Score the last 24 months of decisions against the model and compare hit rates. The calibration_bucket field tells you how much to trust the model in the bands you care about.
API
Calibrated, explainable, ready for production.
Every prediction ships with a confidence interval, the top feature drivers explaining the score, and the five nearest historical analogs the model leaned on.
Available via REST and a typed TypeScript SDK.
