Capabilities

Thirty-five capabilities organized into the six things you do with Mapshock. Click an outcome below to jump to its capabilities, or scroll through.

Outcome 1 of 6: observe

See what is changing

Continuous monitoring of the entities, topics, and narratives you cannot afford to miss.

Set what matters to you — entities, topics, claims, source clusters. Mapshock surfaces material changes as they happen, with severity and recency stated. No daily scroll through irrelevant feeds; the signal comes to you.

Tactical Feed

Live tactical intelligence feed across your tracked domains. Source-attributed, severity-tagged, scoped to what your team is watching.

Risk Radar

Track risk exposure across your priority entities and topics, severity-tiered with confidence stated alongside.

Narrative Evolution

Watch how a story changes over time: shifts in framing, source consensus, and confidence.

Topic Monitoring

Track any topic and surface alerts when significant changes are detected.

Entity Watches

Monitor specific entities (organizations, people, events) and surface changes as they happen.

Cross-Domain Signals

Connect developments across intelligence domains. Financial signals informing geopolitical reads, cyber activity informing defense assessments.

Tactical Intelligence

Alerts, entity watches, risk tracking, and situation reports, assembled into a single working surface.

Analysis Monitoring

Monitor any analysis for material changes: new evidence, confidence shifts, source contradictions, or updated claims.

Trend Tracking

Detect direction-change signals across entities, claims, and relationships over time.

Outcome 2 of 6: reason

Reason about what matters

Trace evidence across entities, claims, and time. Ask follow-ups. See the picture compound.

The Knowledge Map renders relationships across analyses; MARIA answers follow-ups with provenance. Hypothesis extraction surfaces competing explanations, not just the leading view. Every claim is traceable to graded sources.

Knowledge Map

Entities, relationships, and findings mapped across analyses. The intelligence picture compounds over time.

Graph Analytics

Network centrality, community detection, and PageRank across the entity-relationship layer, with multiple view modes for path tracing and cluster analysis.

Hypothesis Extraction

Competing explanations identified and structured. Alternative hypotheses surfaced so you see the full picture, not just the leading view.

MARIA

Conversational analysis layer embedded throughout the platform. Ask for explanations, alternative reads, source provenance, or follow-on questions on any briefing.

Claims Intelligence

Claim-level analysis with letter-graded sources, supporting and disputing evidence separated, and contradiction detection across the corpus.

Explore Mode

Exploratory chat workspace for open-ended investigation. Pivot freely between sources, claims, and entities before committing to a structured analysis.

Domain Coverage

Intelligence domains: geopolitical, financial, cyber, energy, defense, supply chain, competitive, and more.

Temporal Intelligence

Watch how entities, claims, and relationships evolve over time.

Outcome 3 of 6: challenge

Stress-test conclusions

Make your strongest case survive adversarial scrutiny — before the room does.

Red-team your strongest hypothesis. Run formal debates between competing positions. Score robustness across evidence dependency graphs. Fork the analysis to compare alternative paths side by side.

Red Team Challenge

Stress-test your strongest hypothesis with alternative assessments, robustness scoring, and evidence dependency graphs.

Debate Workspace

Structured alternative-assessment workflow. Pit your strongest hypothesis against deliberate counter-positions to find what survives.

Scenarios Workspace

Evidence-driven scenario projection. Build, score, and compare alternative futures grounded in current claims.

Structural Contradictions

Logical inconsistencies surfaced across the entity-relationship layer. For example, entities flagged as both opposing and allied.

Analysis Branching

Fork any analysis to explore alternate paths. Compare branches side-by-side without losing the original line of reasoning.

Outcome 4 of 6: forecast

Forecast with calibration

Probabilistic forecasts published with resolution dates. The track record is public — including the misses.

Predictions ship with explicit probabilities, resolution horizons, and confidence labels. Outcomes are tracked. The public track record shows calibration by confidence and horizon — including the forecasts we got wrong.

Predictions

Forecasts published with confidence, resolution horizon, and a Brier-scored track record. Resolved publicly against subsequent evidence.

Confidence Calibration

Every key finding labeled high, moderate, or low confidence. No false precision, uncertainty is stated, not hidden.

Outcome 5 of 6: publish

Brief stakeholders

Decision-ready deliverables in your stakeholders' format — claims source-graded, confidence labeled.

Structured briefs in formats your board recognizes. Dossiers on entities and events compiled from accumulated research. Reusable playbooks for the analyses your team runs regularly. Every conclusion ships with its evidence chain.

Structured Analysis

Structured analytical methods applied across intelligence domains, each with specialist framing and key questions.

Intelligence Dossiers

Intelligence profiles built from entities, findings, and research accumulated across analyses.

Playbooks

Built-in analytical workflows: Competing Hypotheses, Threat Assessment, Entity Deep Dive, Hypothesis Stress Test. Run on demand or on a schedule.

Morning Brief

Start your day with curated intelligence, critical alerts, watch items, and background developments.

Narrative Briefings

Analyses delivered as structured narrative, from question through evidence to calibrated assessment.

Outcome 6 of 6: remember

Build institutional memory

Every conclusion traceable, sources scored, methods reusable. Your team's calibrated intelligence picture compounds.

Source grading captures what each domain has earned the right to claim. Provenance tracing maps every conclusion back through the evidence chain. Memory and skills preserve the analytical workflows that worked. Your dashboard surfaces what you set up to track.

Memory & Skills

Your intelligence picture compounds across analyses. A skills library extends what the platform can investigate without losing context.

Provenance Tracing

Trace any finding back through evidence to original sources. Every conclusion has a chain you can follow.

Source Intelligence

Every source drawn from a graded domain corpus, each scored for reliability before it informs an analysis.

Source Integrity Check

Diversity warnings when source coverage skews to a single perspective. Independence scored alongside reliability.

Collection Planning

Intelligence gaps identified and surfaced. Targeted collection requirements generated to fill what the analysis doesn't yet cover.

Focus Areas

Track your priority domains and entities. Your dashboard surfaces developments across them without you re-asking each time.
