Hourly Reporting

01

From stream to photograph

Following a live intelligence stream is serious work. Alarms land at every hour of the day; going through each one and analysing it is time-consuming work. Yet sometimes the need is not the stream itself but a clear photograph taken at regular intervals.

Hourly reporting exists for that need: every hour, the most significant alarms produced by the early warning layer are selected, put through verification and enrichment, and compiled into a single report.

The field can be followed without watching the live stream around the clock.

02

From alarm to record

When a card turns into an alert, it keeps receiving updates in its own stream; on the reporting side, it also enters a separate process. In the next hourly cycle the selected cards are interrogated again against independent data: is there a satellite heat trace at the reported strike point, what does ship traffic say. The record is enriched over these and many similar metrics; each metric feeds the scoring, and as evidence accumulates the record's confidence score rises.

Enrichment is not only technical. Diplomatic statements about the event and the sentiment on the ground are added to the record as separate corners; the reader sees not only what happened but how it was received.

03

From hour to hour

A claim that could not be verified in the previous hour is not forgotten; when new evidence lands, it is announced at the top of the next report with its confidence level upgraded. A record's story does not end in one report.

Every report enters the archive with its title, hour and region; the report itself, and its map, can be reached at any moment. When the crisis is over, what remains is not a narrative but a record kept hour by hour.
