What it answers

The question Event is built for

Give it an event: a sanction, a strike, a ruling, an outage, a merger. It reads the current reporting, names every party the event materially touches, places each one by how directly it is exposed, and classifies the weight of the decision each faces. For every affected party it sets out the response options open to them, the signals that would show which way they are going, and the one question their situation turns on. A background brief on the event itself closes the read.

Who reaches for it

The first move on almost any breaking situation: a strategist asked what a headline means for the company, an editor deciding whether a story is bigger than it looks, a student mapping an event for the first time.

What comes back

2 sections, on every run

These are the headings the result renders, read from the same promise the form makes before you spend a credit. A section that depends on what the record holds is rendered when it can be and never promised here.

What it will not do

The lines it holds

It does not predict the outcome or tell you what to do. It maps who is exposed and what their choices are, and it grades every claim by how it is known, so a party the record has not connected to the event stays out of the map rather than being inferred into it.

Every claim carries its grade

A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up. How the grades work →
