Why Teams Monitor Geopolitical Impacts

A classification flags content for an analyst to review.

Geopolitical Impacts events often appear online before anyone reports them internally

Repeated scenarios show where risk concentrates, by site, product or supplier

A specific classification sends the alert to the team that owns it

Geopolitical Impacts: From Alert to Case

The Scout alert is the starting point. The risk category tells the investigator which people, places and things to establish first.

How the ChatGraph™ AI graph builder works
  • Scout alert: Sanctions. Your team uses Nexus to establish which of your suppliers, their owners and their subsidiaries fall under the listing.
  • The analyst directs ChatGraph, which researches the people, places and things involved and writes them into the case with the sources it used.
  • Each link is marked established, alleged, not established or denied.
  • Entities the case turns up can go on a Scout monitor for the specific risk.

Teams That Watch Geopolitical Impacts
