NarrativeRadar is a decision-support intelligence tool. It identifies geopolitical and economic events with competing narratives across information blocks, separates observable facts from interpretations, and highlights conditional scenarios. All conclusions are left to the user.
Events with the strongest global coverage signal. To qualify, an event must be enriched, covered by 2+ information blocks, confirmed by 3+ independent sources, and reach a minimum prominence threshold. Radar events are ranked by a composite score that prioritizes conflicting narratives, block depth, and recency.
Enriched events with broad coverage that do not yet qualify for Radar. Includes global events below the Radar threshold and verified events confirmed by 3+ sources. Sorted by recency — most recently updated first.
A red “Conflicting” badge appears on event cards when opposing narratives are detected between information blocks. This means different blocks are framing the same facts with contradictory interpretations — the highest analytical value signal. Conflicting events are prioritized in the Radar ranking.
Appears when an event is gaining attention fast — many new articles since the last update, reported by several information blocks. Indicates rapid growth in coverage across different perspectives.
A financial instrument linked to this event changed its expected market direction in the last 48 hours (e.g. from upward to downward pressure). Signals that how sources describe the event's market impact is changing.
New articles have been added since the last update, and the event has at least two competing narratives. Coverage is expanding but hasn't reached the level marked as “Escalating”.
A spotlight section on the homepage showing events with the strongest disagreements between information blocks. Each card shows the point of contention, the position of each block, and whether the disagreement is about different readings, different explanations, or disputed blame. Helps you quickly find where competing interpretations matter most.
Each event is assigned a lifecycle phase based on article flow and recency.
New event detected within the last 24 hours. Article flow is increasing. The situation is developing and narratives are still forming.
Established event with sustained coverage across multiple sources. Narratives are defined and may be conflicting between information blocks.
Article flow has slowed significantly. The event is losing media attention but may still carry unresolved implications.
No new articles for an extended period. The event is stored for reference and no longer actively monitored for narrative changes.
Sources are classified into geopolitical information blocks based on editorial alignment, ownership, and geographic origin. Events covered by multiple blocks indicate higher analytical value due to narrative diversity.
Western media outlets. Includes US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and allied English-language press.
Russian and Russian-aligned media. State and independent outlets from the Russian information space.
Chinese and Chinese-aligned media. State and semi-official outlets from the Chinese information space.
Middle Eastern media. Outlets from the Gulf states, Turkey, Iran, and the broader MENA region.
Official institutional sources. Government agencies, central banks, international organizations (UN, NATO, IMF, ECB).
Financial and market-focused media. Wire services, trading desks, and specialized financial press (Reuters, Bloomberg, MarketWatch).
African media outlets and pan-African news services. Covers sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, and African perspectives on global events.
Regional and local media not aligned to a major block. Covers Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and other non-aligned regions.
Quality classification reflects source diversity. Higher quality events provide more opportunity for narrative comparison.
Covered by sources from two or more distinct information blocks. Highest analytical value — enables direct narrative comparison across geopolitical perspectives.
Confirmed by multiple independent sources within the same block. Validated event but limited to a single geopolitical perspective.
Reported by a single source only. Lowest confidence — may represent noise, niche coverage, or early-stage reporting not yet picked up by others.
Enriched events separate information into three strict layers. No sentence belongs to more than one layer.
Observable, verifiable information shared across narratives. Dates, places, actors, actions, confirmed figures. Descriptive only — no interpretation.
Interpretive frameworks applied to the same facts by different information blocks. Always plural and attributed. Each narrative represents how a block frames the event, not what is objectively true.
Conditional forward-looking implications. Always structured as “If X holds…” statements. No predictions, no certainty, no recommendations.
When an event has global coverage, NarrativeRadar compares how different information blocks interpret the same facts. Registered users see a side-by-side comparison by default, with a plain-language summary of the core disagreement at the top (e.g. “Western sources frame this as X, while Russian sources see it as Y”). Points of disagreement appear directly between the narrative columns, so you can see exactly where blocks differ. The analysis breaks down into four dimensions.
Two or more blocks present contradictory claims about the same event. Each position is shown side by side with its source block, so you can see exactly where the factual accounts diverge.
Blocks agree on the basic facts but assign different meaning or causation. One block may frame an action as defensive while another frames the same action as aggressive.
An aspect of the event that no monitored block is reporting on. Blind spots can signal information suppression, editorial priorities, or angles that may surface later.
A concrete indicator that could resolve the disagreement. If a specific meeting, vote, data release, or statement happens, the competing narratives may converge or one may be confirmed over the others.
Events are not static. As new articles arrive, NarrativeRadar re-analyzes events to reflect the latest developments. The AI focuses on what changed since its previous analysis — leading with new information rather than repeating old context.
A blue badge on event pages shows how many times the analysis has been refreshed. Re-analysis is triggered when article count grows significantly, when the event gains coverage from new information blocks, or when the existing analysis becomes stale relative to the event phase.
Events are analyzed at three depth levels depending on coverage. Deep Analysis requires 5+ articles from 3+ sources across 2+ blocks and includes full narrative comparison. Standard Analysis covers events with fewer sources. Brief Summary handles single-source events. As coverage grows, events are automatically upgraded to deeper analysis.
Each event page includes a timeline showing its full analysis history. Expand any previous snapshot to see how the summary, narratives, and facts looked at that point. This lets you track how the story and its interpretations evolved over time.
Three timestamps appear on event pages. “Detected” marks when the event was first identified. “Updated” shows when the latest article was linked. “Analyzed” shows how recently the AI re-assessed the event with all available information.
Economic sectors affected by the event: Finance, Technology, Energy, Defense, Diplomacy, Trade, Commodities, Healthcare, Automotive, Real Estate.
Thematic classification: Geopolitics, Conflict, Earnings, Corruption, Regulation, Elections, Monetary Policy, Sanctions, Migration, Nuclear, Climate, Cybersecurity.
Key actors extracted from enriched events: persons, organizations, countries, and financial instruments. Each entity links to all events where it appears.
When a geopolitical event may affect financial instruments, AI analysis identifies potentially exposed assets and their directional pressure based on narrative framing. This is not investment advice — direction reflects how sources frame the event, not market outcomes.
A cyan badge on event cards indicates market exposure. The number shows how many financial instruments are potentially affected. Click the event to see the full exposure analysis including asset class, instrument name, directional pressure, and rationale.
The Market Exposure page aggregates all events with financial instrument data. Filter by asset class (stocks, commodity, currency, bond, index) and browse the most mentioned instruments across active events.
When the same instrument appears in two or more active events, it signals accumulated pressure from concurrent geopolitical developments. Convergence items are highlighted at the bottom of the Market Exposure page.
Four conditional direction labels describe how sources frame the potential impact: ↑ Upward pressure, ↓ Downward pressure, ↕ Increased volatility, and • Uncertain. These describe narrative framing, not predictions.
When different information blocks disagree on how an event affects a financial instrument, market exposure items are grouped by perspective. For example, Western sources may see upward pressure on an asset while Russian sources see downward pressure on the same asset. Each group is labeled with the block that supports that direction.
Instrument pages track how direction signals change over time. When an event's market exposure is re-analyzed and the direction shifts (e.g. from upward to downward pressure), the change is recorded. Visit any instrument page to see its full direction change history with links to the events that triggered each shift.
Use the filter bar on the home page to narrow events by phase, sector, or topic. Combine filters with the search box — all parameters compose. For example, filtering by “Ongoing” phase + “Energy” sector + searching “ukraine” returns only active energy-related events matching that query. Click any active filter to deselect it, or use “Clear” to reset all filters.
The interactive map at /map visualizes event distribution across countries. Countries are colored by their dominant information block and opacity reflects event density.
On desktop, scroll to zoom and drag to pan. On mobile and tablet, pinch to zoom and swipe to pan. Use the +/- controls in the bottom-right corner for precise zoom. Click any highlighted country to open its event panel.
Use the block legend above the map to filter by information block. When a block is selected, only countries with events from that block are highlighted. Click the active filter again or press “Clear” to show all.
Clicking a country opens a detail panel with its event count, phase breakdown, and top 5 recent events. Each event links to its full analysis page. A “View all events” link shows the complete list for that country.

NarrativeRadar is a decision-support intelligence tool that identifies geopolitical and economic events with competing narratives across 8 information blocks and 130+ sources, separates observable facts from interpretations, and highlights conditional scenarios.
Sources are classified into 8 geopolitical information blocks: WEST (US/UK/EU media), RU (Russian-aligned), CN (Chinese-aligned), ME (Middle Eastern), AFRICA (Pan-African), OFFICIAL (UN, IMF, WHO), FINANCE (Bloomberg, FT, Reuters), and REGIONAL (non-aligned local media). Events covered by multiple blocks have higher analytical value.
Radar events have global coverage — 2+ information blocks and 3+ independent sources. They are ranked by a composite score that prioritizes conflicting narratives, block depth, and recency. Events marked “Conflicting” have opposing narratives between blocks. Trending events are verified events that don't yet qualify for Radar.
Events progress through 4 phases: Emerging (new, detected within 24 hours), Ongoing (sustained coverage, defined narratives), Cooling (article flow slowing), and Archived (no new articles, stored for reference).
Events with global coverage are reported by sources from 2 or more distinct information blocks (e.g. WEST + RU). This is the highest analytical value tier because it enables direct narrative comparison across geopolitical perspectives.
Each enriched event separates information into three strict layers: Reported Facts (observable, verifiable information), Competing Narratives (how each block interprets the facts), and Conditional Scenarios (forward-looking “If X holds…” implications). No sentence belongs to more than one layer.
Market Exposure identifies financial instruments (equities, commodities, currencies, bonds, indices) potentially affected by a geopolitical event. AI analysis assigns conditional direction labels (upward pressure, downward pressure, increased volatility, uncertain) based on how sources frame the event. Direction changes are tracked over time on each instrument page. This is analytical context, not investment advice — all conclusions are left to the user.
Events are re-analyzed automatically when their article count grows by 50% or more, when they gain coverage from new information blocks, or when the current analysis is older than 12-24 hours for active events. Each re-analysis focuses on what changed since the last version. You can see the full analysis history in the Event Timeline on each event page.
The “Where Narratives Diverge” section identifies four types of disagreement: Disputed (blocks contradict each other on facts), Different Reading (same facts, opposite interpretations), Nobody Covers (blind spots no block reports on), and What to Watch (indicators that could resolve the disagreement). Each dimension is color-coded and shows the specific blocks involved.
Yes. Registered users receive a curated intelligence brief featuring a Top Story with block coverage and opposing positions, “3 Things That Changed” (recently updated events), condensed Radar and Trending sections, and market exposure highlights. Delivered daily or weekly at 08:00 UTC. You can also enable an alert digest that emails you when new events match your alert rules. Both are configurable from your profile and alerts pages.
NarrativeRadar does not label narratives as true or false, recommend investments, predict outcomes, or adopt ideological positions. When data is insufficient, the system explicitly abstains. All conclusions are left to the user.
