FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers on what we do, how we do it and what we do not do.
Is it real-time surveillance?
Not by default. Frequency, coverage, tools and channels are agreed according to the scope of each engagement.
How do you tell a signal from noise?
Signals are ranked by their relevance to a live decision and verified before the reading changes. Only signals that cross an agreed review threshold change the analysis.
Do you use artificial intelligence for monitoring?
Yes, as support for watching sources and organizing findings. Interpretation and prioritization are validated by people.
