How the radar works

1. 1
   Listen

   Collect posts

   News articles and public social posts on each topic, refreshed every few minutes. The radar looks at the last 6 hours. Real account names are hidden.

2. 2
   Read

   Understand meaning

   An AI model turns each post into its meaning, so the same message in other words still matches.

3. 3
   Focus

   Stay on topic

   Posts about the topic count. Posts the search picked up by accident are ignored.

4. 4
   Clean

   Remove the common part

   What everyone on the topic says anyway is taken out. Only what is unusual is compared.

5. 5
   Compare

   Check every pair of accounts

   Did two accounts say the same thing within minutes? Only that counts.

6. 6
   Threshold

   Stand out from normal

   A pair matters only if it is clearly above what is normal for that topic. Busy and quiet topics are judged fairly.

7. 7
   Group

   Find the swarm

   Accounts linked this way form a group of 3 or more. Weak signals add up into a strong one.

8. 8
   Decide

   Decide as posts arrive

   Each new post adds or removes evidence. The radar decides as soon as it is sure, with at most 2% false alarms.

9. 9
   Double-check

   Rule out real news

   If people are just reacting to a news story or a meme that spreads everywhere, it is not flagged.

It flags accounts acting in sync, not opinions. The verdict comes from these steps, not from an AI chatbot.
