About EdgeTheory

EdgeTheory is an AI-powered narrative intelligence company that helps its customers understand and participate in the narratives that shape their worlds. Narratives have the power to win or lose wars, elections, and affect global business. They also have the power to improve the lives of millions, by strengthening people’s understanding of accurate information on everything from business to healthcare to election integrity.
Narrative Intelligence Message
Understanding how narratives in the online age emerge, evolve, and affect the world is a mission-critical task. From malign-influence campaigns directed at the U.S. and its allies, to viral trends that disrupt economies and political structures, insight into narrative dynamics is a foundational component of cognitive security for individuals, institutions, businesses, and governments.

Our Technology

EdgeTheory’s technology continuously consume large amounts of data produced by news outlets, government agencies and officials, corporations, journalists, propaganda networks, and influencers in politics, business, culture, and more.

In a process we call "atomization," this data is then disassembled and analyzed by artificial-intelligence, machine-learning, and natural-language processors that detect keyword usage, amplification behavior and alignment, thematic emphasis, and narrative evolution over time. It's then reassembled into enhanced datasets that are made available to our customers through three different delivery modes: A console for trained analysts; dynamically updated narrative briefs; and an application programming interface (API) for use by third-party developers. The technology introduces no bias regarding sources, narrative topics, social/cultural trends, or other factors that often cloud results obtained from other resources such as search engines and other online media. It focuses entirely on the content and activity of the sources publishing, amplifying, and manipulating narrative content.

Products And Use Cases

EdgeTheory customers have included global leaders in national security, information technology, transnational banking, healthcare, and many other areas. EdgeTheory's products are thus well-positioned as best-of-class solutions for analysts and other stakeholders in business intelligence, risk analytics, open-source services, and media monitoring.

EdgeTheory’s tools help its customers see patterns and trends among the people and organizations that create and amplify narratives, revealing how and when they spread, and the nature and scope of their impact. With the insight drawn from this intelligence, EdgeTheory’s customers are better prepared to make strategic assessments of narrative dynamics, to participate in them if they choose, and to measure their success.

EdgeTheory’s narrative analytics products are delivered in three modes:

  1. Narrative Briefs are dynamic, continually updated documents designed to be compact, portable, and shareable by people who aren’t trained analysts, but need to consume the kinds of reports and products analysts produce.
  2. The Console is a robust analytics tool designed for professional analysts, and allows for deep research and analysis of narratives, sources, keywords, and other metrics.
  3. Our API provides third-party developers access to narrative source and analytics data.
Successful narrative analysis involve listening, understanding, communicating, and analyzing. Knowing the power of narratives and how they spread is now more critical than ever.
