Operational Alert Level

Understanding the OAL Scale

The Operational Alert Level is the platform's master threat indicator. It is derived from all 177 active intelligence sources across 7 reliability rings, recomputed every 5 minutes across 288 daily collection cycles. Every score change is traceable to specific signals.

1
Minimal
Baseline monitoring. No elevated indicators across any domain.
2
Elevated
Increased signal activity detected. One or more domains showing above-baseline readings.
3
High
Significant threat indicators. Multiple corroborating signals across domains.
4
Severe
Imminent threat conditions. Cross-domain escalation with high-confidence signals.
5
Critical
Active CBRN event in progress or confirmed. Maximum alert across all systems.
Threat Domains

The Four CBRN Domains

Every signal ingested by the platform is classified into one of four threat domains. Each domain maintains its own independent threat score (0–100), computed from domain-specific indicators and weighted by source reliability.

Chemical

Threat Score

Monitoring chemical weapons use, precursor procurement, industrial accidents, and CW convention violations. Covers Syria, Yemen, and dual-use chemical facilities globally.

Threat Score

Tracking outbreak detection, dual-use research, syndromic surveillance, and bioweapons programme indicators. Integrates WHO IHR, ProMED, CDC wastewater, and ECDC feeds.

Threat Score

Sensor network anomalies, dirty bomb indicators, orphan source tracking, and nuclear accident radiological fallout. EURDEP network with 5,500 stations across 36 countries.

5-Layer Intelligence Pipeline

Raw data passes through five processing layers before reaching the dashboard. Each layer adds structure, context, and confidence scoring. No AI verdict is accepted without a traceable evidence chain.

01

Collection

177 sources across 7 reliability rings are polled in 288 daily cycles. Each source is rated using NATO A–F reliability grades. A circuit breaker (CLOSED → OPEN → HALF-OPEN) protects against cascading failures. Ring 7 sources going offline is itself treated as an intelligence signal.

02

Classification

Every raw item is sanitised through a 10-step armorString() pipeline, then classified by CBRN domain (C/B/R/N), geo-tagged to known entities, and assigned a NATO reliability rating. A provenanceHash (djb2a fingerprint) deduplicates signals across sources.

armorString() Domain Tagging Geo-Entity Matching provenanceHash
03

Scoring & Convergence

Domain-specific threat scores (0–100) are computed using weighted signal aggregation. Source reliability, signal freshness, and cross-domain correlation are factored in. 300–800 raw items per cycle converge to 20–80 actionable CBRN signals.

Weighted Scoring Cross-Domain Fusion 300–800 → 20–80 Signals
04

OAL Computation

The Operational Alert Level (1–5) is derived from the composite threat matrix. Domain interactions are evaluated — a simultaneous spike in Nuclear + Radiological signals is weighted more heavily than either alone. Every OAL change is traceable to specific signals.

AI Narrative & Geospatial

A 3-tier LLM fallback chain (GPT-4.1 → Gemini 2.5 → Template) generates structured intelligence briefs under RAG constraints — the model can only reference ingested signals, preventing hallucination. All geo-tagged signals are plotted on the Facility Atlas (192 sites, 36 countries).

7 Rings of Intelligence

Sources are organised into concentric reliability rings. Ring 7 (official government and IGO feeds) carries the highest confidence. Ring 1 (academic and think-tank research) provides strategic depth. Each ring contributes a different intelligence dimension.
