Media Monitoring

How it works

Analysts spend a large share of their time reading news outlets across the political spectrum - to maintain situational awareness, prepare regular updates, and track how different political actors frame developments.

It is here that semantic search provides significant opportunities. Instead of matching exact keywords, it searches for content based on its meaning.

Analysts simply describe in plain language what they want to understand, and the system finds the relevant coverage, no matter how an issue is named or in which language it is written.

REPORT

01 - Ask

A question in plain language

The analyst picks a region and a time window, then writes the questions out in full sentences.

Region Iran Window Last 7 days
  • The Iran–Oman track, and how it relates to the other negotiation channels
  • Return or renewal of the MoU, and the wider agreement it is meant to lead to
  • Military escalation and the risk of a return to war
  • Trust in the United States and in Trump; the role of the Europeans
  • The balance between diplomacy and deterrence

02 - Plan

The coordinator takes over

A coordinating agent picks up the question and loads the regional context: the outlet landscape, who leans where politically, and how to read them. It translates the question into optimised search queries - in Farsi and in English.

03 - Search

Twelve readers, across six political factions, all in parallel

Multiple search agents fan out in parallel - one for each slice of the Iranian media spectrum: hardline, state-aligned, moderate, reformist. Each reads its own outlets in full and takes quotes straight from the article body.

04 - Draft

Findings become a briefing

Duplicate reports are removed first. The remaining coverage is then grouped around the main themes that emerged during the week, rather than fitted into a predefined structure. Those themes are ordered by their relevance and prominence in the coverage. If certain media did not cover an important story at all, the briefing notes that too.

05 - Check

An independent check

Before anything reaches the analyst, a separate fact-checking agent re-reads the briefing against the sources: every quote, every citation. A claim that doesn’t hold goes back for revision.

06 - Deliver

Delivered, typically within the hour

The report arrives as a formatted Word file. Every claim is linked to the article it came from, and the source list identifies each outlet, its publication date and its place on the political spectrum. The underlying records are delivered alongside the report as structured data.

Typically within the hour

See it run

A single request fans out into twelve parallel search agents - regime, conservative, moderate and reformist media - and minutes later returns the briefing: 138 articles across 16 outlets, organised by faction and traceable to every source, with an independent QA pass logging 100% citation coverage and zero hallucinated quotes.
