An evidenced intelligence picture.
CORTEX combines current and historical intelligence on geopolitical and security developments, disruptive incidents and natural hazards with hundreds of contextual and reference datasets. These include critical infrastructure, trade and transport, environmental conditions, media coverage and government advisories. Together, they provide an evidenced intelligence picture that can be queried, compared and updated as conditions change.
Everything in CORTEX is tied to a place and a time, and every new record adds to what is known about that place, so the picture gets richer every day.
Sources, dates and known limits stay visible, so every answer can be checked.
The picture is updated as conditions change, not rebuilt for each question.
The questions people bring to CORTEX.
What is our exposure here, and has it changed since we last looked?
Changing exposure · Location and asset assessmentsWhat does this client’s location look like before we start the assessment?
Location and asset assessments · Recurring reportingWhat is happening near our people, sites and routes?
Monitoring people and operations · Routes and dependenciesCan our own tools and AI agents draw on the same evidence?
An intelligence layer for applications and AI agentsBaselines, reports and comparisons.
Everything CORTEX produces comes from the same foundation, so each output can be traced back to its sources.
Baseline
The starting picture for one place, asset or question: history, context, sources, dates and known limits.
Report
A baseline written up for a reader and run weekly, monthly or quarterly.
Comparison
What has changed since the last baseline, compared like with like: same period, method and sources.
Minutes.
A broad intelligence baseline and first-line analysis that could take a team days or weeks to assemble manually can be produced in minutes.
CORTEX reduces the research burden. Professional judgement remains with the analyst, adviser or decision-maker.
Use it directly, or build it into your own systems.
The route can change. The sources and evidence behind each answer stay the same.

“I particularly like the transparency of ‘where we can and cannot see’. It’s very rare to see from a commercial provider.”
“…more up-to-date and of better quality than the commercial sources we used.”
Send us a location. We’ll come back with a baseline.
