Theme Tracing

Identify and Track Emerging Narratives

Uncover Patterns. Connect the Dots. Stay Ahead.

Every day, thousands of narratives emerge across media channels, influencing public perception, industry trends, and decision-making. Traditional keyword searches only scratch the surface, missing the deeper connections, context, and momentum behind evolving discussions.

Theme Tracing uses advanced text vectorization and AI-powered analytics to go beyond keyword monitoring, identifying thematic relationships between news, social media, and other sources. By tracing these connections over time, you gain unparalleled visibility into how narratives evolve, who is amplifying them, and where they are headed next.
