“Our ground team in West Africa told us the report was wrong. Next day they called back, the report was right, they were wrong. We’d been looking for this kind of intelligence for five years. Nobody could deliver it.”
“The report had clear signals of the global cocoa price crash before anyone else.”
CEO, U.S.-Based Commodity Trading Firm, West Africa Operations“Better than any security report we’ve ever seen. The relevance is incredible, and it’s a fraction of the cost.”

Security Director, International NGO, West Asia Operations“It is better data and reporting than anything we have ever had available to us.

Confectionery Production (est. 1934) — the leading international trade journal for the global chocolate and confectionery industry. By Neill Barston.
“The latest regional study, courtesy of market analyst Sean Hagarty, revealed a concerning picture for a nation hit by pricing instability and crop disease… The combination of crashing farmgate prices, severe Black Pod risks from high humidity, and the fuel import suspension creates a compounding crisis. Farmers lack capital for fungicides just as disease risk peaks, while fuel shortages threaten to strand whatever beans are harvested.”Read the full article →

From the field
“What I see in your analysis is exactly as you describe it. On the ground, the workers are definitely afraid of what is happening in the province and in the cities. Your analysis fully matches our daily and weekly security reports.”
Security Manager, Western Pakistan Mining Operations
On location, Balochistan
Three steps between you and intelligence your competitors will never see.
Cameroon cocoa belt, Balochistan mining corridor, Hormuz oil shipping, wherever you operate. Currently active in 8 countries. New regions operational within 48 hours.
12,000+ items daily from local Telegram channels, regional radio, Facebook groups, commodity exchanges, and weather stations in Pidgin, French, Urdu, Farsi, and 96 more languages.
Threat levels, price signals, port status, security alerts, and forward-looking intelligence, structured for decisions, not just reading. Act before your competitors even know.
One missed port closure can cost more than a year of coverage. One early warning can save an operation.
Catch supply chain disruptions before they hit prices.
Know about the attack before the evacuation order.

Pipeline threats, shipping lane closures, and refinery risk, from Farsi sources.
Four near misses. Four times the information existed somewhere, in a language I could not read.
On a business trip outside Tbilisi, I found myself a mile from Russian troops. Weeks earlier, they had kidnapped a local man in the same area. I had no idea.
Months later, my family drove toward the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. War had just broken out. The news was in Georgian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani. We were an hour from an active conflict zone.
Then I walked out of the metro into a riot on Rustaveli Avenue. Tear gas. Overturned police cars. I walked straight into it, because I did not know.
So I built Region Alert. Not breaking news. Breaking context.

We process 12,000+ items daily from local-language Telegram channels, Facebook groups, regional radio transcripts, commodity exchange data, weather stations, government communiques, and 250+ RSS feeds per region. We read the chatter in languages your team doesn’t speak, and turn it into structured intelligence.

Yes. Monthly billing, cancel anytime, no contracts, no cancellation fees. We keep clients because the intelligence is worth it, not because of a contract.
We monitor sources in 100+ languages across Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, and South Asia. Active daily briefings currently run for clients in Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Pakistan (Karachi and Balochistan), Iran and the Hormuz Strait, the Republic of Georgia (Tbilisi), Azerbaijan (Baku), and Tajikistan (Dushanbe and border regions). New coverage areas are operational within 48 hours. If we can read the language, we can cover the region.
Every claim in our briefings cites its source. We cross-reference across language boundaries, if a Telegram channel reports an event, we verify against local radio, regional media, and government sources before elevating. Human-built classification rules ensure quality. We flag unverified single-source reports explicitly.
Commodity traders monitoring supply chain disruptions. Mining companies with remote operations. NGOs needing duty of care compliance. Oil and gas operators watching pipeline corridors. If you have money, people, or cargo in a country where the local news isn’t in English, you need this.
