Say what matters once. Be told when it changes.
A monitor is a rule your organization writes: these subjects, these places, these domains, this severity, this much evidence, this schedule, these people. Patena runs it against the stream around the clock. Atlas reads every hit before you do, explains it, holds what is not confirmed, and suggests when the rule should change.
The strike hit is the first for this monitor and it meets the rule by a wide margin: two T1 and eleven T2 sources 1. The sanctions hit is a score drift, not a story; the move came from one event on 14 October 2.
I held the Tallinn report: one T3 source, no corroboration 3. If a second source appears, you will get it.
Suggestion: in the last 7 days this rule would have fired 4 times at severity ≥ 2 and 1 time at ≥ 3. The current setting looks right.
One monitor for a Baltic supply desk: the rule on the left, its open hits in the middle with acknowledge and snooze, Atlas on the right explaining the hits, holding a single-source report, and proposing a new place for the rule. Nothing is added until someone approves.
What a monitor can watch
Rules are explicit and visible. Atlas can draft one from a sentence; a person always saves it.
Subjects, places, domains, severity, evidence
Any combination. A radius on the map, a list of companies, three of twelve domains, severity on the four-bar meter, and how many sources of which tier it takes to count.
Score drift
A monitor can watch the number, not just the news: fire when a subject’s risk score moves by more than a threshold in a window.
Delivery per person
In-app for everyone. Email and webhook per analyst, per severity, with quiet hours. Webhooks carry the full hit as JSON with its citations.
Atlas does not repeat what you have seen. Snoozed hits return only if they change.
Acknowledge and snooze
Every hit is a state, not a message. Acknowledge it and Atlas stops mentioning it. Snooze it and it returns only if it changes.
Would have fired 9 times at severity ≥ 2, 1 time at ≥ 3. Atlas: “≥ 3 looks right for this desk.”
Test before you save
Run a rule against the last 7 or 30 days and see how often it would have fired. Atlas reads the result and says whether the threshold looks right.
What Atlas does with your monitors
“Watch our Baltic suppliers for strikes and sanctions” becomes a full rule with the subjects it found in your organization. You review and save.
Each hit arrives with a two-sentence explanation, the sources behind it and which part of the rule it met.
A story that meets the subject and domain but not the evidence rule is held and shown as unconfirmed, not delivered and not hidden.
When your subjects move, Atlas notices: a new port, a new carrier, a threshold that fires too often. It proposes; you approve.
