AI-Powered, Early Warnings & Indications

Decision Advantage in the Information Environment

In a rapidly evolving information landscape, the ability to identify and act upon emerging narratives is vital for strategic decision-making and organizational resilience. EdgeTheory empowers decision-makers with advanced tools that enable early warnings, precise detection, and actionable insights into the narrative environment. These tools are designed to provide a clear understanding of how narratives emerge, propagate, and influence the broader ecosystem, ensuring timely responses and informed decisions.

Dynamic Visualization of Source and Narrative Amplification

EdgeTheory provides powerful dynamic visualization tools that reveal key outlets publishing and amplifying adversarial narratives. These visualizations allow decision-makers to track and understand how narratives are being propagated across sources and networks in real time.

Phrase Usage Over Time: EdgeTheory's technology charts keyword usage across customizable time slices, from a single day to a full month. By identifying the most frequently used terms across individual sources, groups of sources, and broader populations, analysts can detect emerging trends or potential shifts in narrative focus.
Spike and Dip Analysis: The system captures daily fluctuations in keyword usage, uncovering early “kindling” events that may escalate into larger discourse. This provides a crucial early warning system to act on narratives before they gain significant traction.
Combination and Trend Monitoring: Analysts can track how combinations of phrases interact and trend over time, gaining insights into the evolution of complex narratives.
Exportable Formats: Visualizations can be exported in multiple formats, including CSV, PDF, and image files, ensuring seamless integration into reports or collaborative tools.

These detailed visual tools empower analysts to see the full context of narrative amplification, enabling precise, data-driven decisions to counter risks or leverage opportunities within the narrative environment.

Geospatial Mapping

AI-powered geospatial analytics provide insight into the origin and target of narrative campaigns. EdgeTheory’s Geospatial Mapping allows organizations to understand the global flow of narratives, offering critical insights into how and where they are originating, spreading, and concentrating. This feature is essential for understanding the geographic dimensions of narratives in the information environment.

Origin and Target Identification: Pinpoint the geographic origins of narratives and their intended or actual targets, offering insights into the motivations and strategies behind their dissemination.
Narrative Flow Visualization: Dynamic visualizations depict the geographic flow of narratives, showing how they propagate across regions and concentration points.
Strategic Impact Analysis: Assess the regional effects of adversarial narratives or targeted campaigns, enabling organizations to adapt strategies to address vulnerabilities in specific geographic areas.

Geospatial Mapping is a critical tool for identifying the physical movement of narratives, offering real-time, region-specific insights to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities.

Narrative Tracing

Proprietary theme-tracing capability gives users fine-grained control over the scope and similarity of narrative items, enabling deeper analysis of the parties that contribute to specific narrative trends. EdgeTheory’s Narrative Tracing allows organizations to monitor and analyze the lifecycle of narratives, tracking their evolution over time and across various platforms and contributors.

Fine-Tuned Scope Control: Adjust similarity thresholds to control the narrative scope, giving analysts precision in identifying subtle or significant shifts in narrative content.
Lifecycle Monitoring: Trace the development of a narrative from its inception to its current state and beyond, revealing key contributors, amplification points, and patterns of adoption or rejection.

Narrative Tracing empowers analysts to understand the evolution of complex themes, helping organizations predict and respond to future developments in the narrative landscape.

Co-Amplification Networks

In today’s interconnected media landscape, narratives often gain traction through deliberate, coordinated efforts rather than organic growth. EdgeTheory’s Co-Amplification Detection reveals when and where identical narratives are being promoted by multiple sources simultaneously, shedding light on potential influence campaigns.

Fine-Tuned Scope Control: Adjust similarity thresholds to control the narrative scope, giving analysts precision in identifying subtle or significant shifts in narrative content.
Lifecycle Monitoring: Trace the development of a narrative from its inception to its current state and beyond, revealing key contributors, amplification points, and patterns of adoption or rejection.
Deeper Party Analysis: Identify the actors driving specific narratives, uncovering relationships between content creators, amplifiers, and their coordinated efforts.

Narrative Tracing empowers analysts to understand the evolution of complex themes, helping organizations predict and respond to future developments in the narrative landscape.
