Cartography & tracking ‘weak signals’

What signals should you watch?

Track faint indicators of change

Be prepared to neutralise risks early

Anticipate opportunities before your competition

Software will analyse all relevant documents and attempt to cluster common concepts. Watching the development of weak signals (bottom left quadrant) is key to anticipating future change

Clicking on the cluster from previous slides brings up network of relationships. Documents relating to any combination of the network can be called up and analysed further if required.

COMMENT: Note the absence of any identified link between RAFF and Frack Off at this stage.
