Digital Controversy Mapper

Controversy Intelligence Business Pro is a source-backed intelligence workspace for consultancies, public-affairs teams and sustainability advisors. Run your own controversy engagement end to end: monitor the dispute, map who stands where, verify every claim against its source, and deliver a client-ready brief.

SETUP — SCOPING
A litmus test first: would facts alone settle this? Then define what is contested, the actors, the territory (geographic, institutional, media) and the timeframe, plus an optional audience-and-ownership note carried into the brief.

MONITOR
Save Boolean queries with templates like (a OR b) AND (c OR d), get keyword suggestions for spelling variants and expert versus everyday terms, and add public RSS feeds the server checks hourly. New items land in a review inbox you approve into the source register. Only public, lawfully accessible feeds — no web-wide crawling, no social-media scraping.

MAP
Build your own stakeholder map: people, organisations and non-human actors (a turbine, a law, a platform), each with a stance on a pro-to-against scale. Actors lay out in a live ForceAtlas2 studio with Louvain communities, rankings, filters and ego networks. The 7-step visual network analysis recipe, a layout stability check with re-seeded runs, a permanent reminder that axes carry no meaning, and a mediation inspector that shows what each step changed.

VERIFY
A source register with provenance and limitations, a claims board where every claim is reported fact, interpretation or disputed with an uncertainty flag, a structured argument builder — claim, evidence, reasoning, confidence, expected pushback — and a triangulation checklist. AI-assisted synthesis drafts summaries and arguments from your project's own sources; nothing reaches a brief without your check, and every AI-assisted item is marked.

DELIVER
One tap produces a Controversy Brief PDF: cover, annotated stakeholder map with its visual protocol, positions, timeline, claims with numbered citations, watchlist and method appendix. Bundle several annotated maps into a Controversy Atlas, and track new sources, changed claims and new actors since the last brief.
