You decide what the platform cares about. Requirements come first, and everything downstream, collection, scoring and reporting, is answerable to them.

What you can do

Direction in the platform

Requirements in three tiers

Priority Intelligence Requirements at organisation, sector and global level. Collected items and generated reports are scored against them, not against a generic feed.

Industry sets, preloaded

Requirement cassettes for maritime, healthcare, financial services, energy and education load at onboarding, so your first week starts from a real collection plan.

Your wording, your ranking

Rewrite a requirement in your own language and it re-ranks what surfaces beneath it. The phrasing is not decoration: it drives retrieval.

Curate the stream

Choose sources, boost what matters with priority keywords, exclude what does not, and tag as you go so nothing becomes unfindable later.

What we deliberately do not make configurable

Severity is one shared rubric, not a per-tenant dial. Reports are generated once for everyone, so a tenant-tunable severity scale would mean the same threat carrying different severities in different accounts with nothing to reconcile them. Customisation belongs on routing and thresholds, which is where you will find it.

See it against your own requirements

The fastest way to judge an intelligence platform is to point it at what you actually need to know.
