SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides consolidated, queryable conflict and political instability data to speed sovereign risk assessments, ESG country scoring, and supply-chain disruption analysis by removing the need to manually query multiple event and tone datasets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event-level Coverage: Query ACLED event records by country, date range, event type, actors, and fatalities for near-real-time situational awareness.
  • Aggregations & Time Series: Retrieve ACLED fatality aggregates and UCDP battle-death time series for historical intensity analysis and trend identification.
  • Media Tone & Bilateral Tension: Use GDELT tone and bilateral tension tools to track media sentiment trends and assess diplomatic friction between country pairs.
  • Use Case: Combine ACLED event hotspots, UCDP historical death estimates, and GDELT tone trends to produce a single conflict-risk snapshot for a sovereign credit review.

Quick Start

Request an ACLED country summary for Nigeria over the past 12 months and then compare GDELT bilateral tension between Nigeria and a key trading partner.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get ACLED event data and fatality aggregates for country risk analysis?

Retrieve ACLED event data for country risk analysis by querying records with filters for country, date range, event type, and actors. You can also extract ACLED fatality aggregates to identify conflict hotspots and near-real-time situational awareness.

What is the best way to track bilateral tension and media tone for geopolitical monitoring?

Track bilateral tension and media tone for geopolitical monitoring using GDELT tone metrics. GDELT tools assess media sentiment trends and measure diplomatic friction between country pairs to support sovereign risk reviews.

Can I use ISO alpha-3 codes and free-text country names to query UCDP battle-death time series?

Yes, you can query UCDP battle-death time series using mixed country identifiers. The system supports both ISO alpha-3 codes and free-text country names to retrieve historical conflict intensity data for trend identification.

Do I need ACLED API credentials to perform supply-chain disruption assessment?

You need optional ACLED API credentials to access full event-level records for supply-chain disruption assessment. The Skill supports querying ACLED data, alongside UCDP and GDELT metrics, to consolidate conflict risk snapshots.

How does combining UCDP and GDELT data improve ESG country scoring?

Combining UCDP historical battle-death estimates with GDELT tone trends improves ESG country scoring by providing a consolidated conflict-risk snapshot. This removes the need to manually query multiple event and tone datasets.

What are the limitations when filtering ACLED events for sovereign credit reviews?

Limitations when filtering ACLED events for sovereign credit reviews include reliance on optional API credentials for full access. The system provides event-level filters for actors and fatalities, but historical intensity analysis depends on UCDP data availability.
