Intelligence reports

You are deciding about places you will never visit.

On evidence you did not collect, assembled by someone whose method you cannot inspect. Radar gives you the same picture with the workings left in: every claim marked with what it rests on, and the point where the evidence stops marked too.

Extract · a real report World state 21 Aug 2026

The most important fact in today's file is physical, not rhetorical. Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is at one vessel against a pre-crisis baseline of 83, and observed carrying capacity is zero.RR Brent closed at $93.87.RR

You already know a supply shock lifts spot. The reading worth your time is the shape rather than the level: the June 2028 contract is marked at $75.52.RR The forward market is pricing this as an event with an end date, about twenty dollars below today, at exactly the horizon where your mandate begins to bite.RI

Australian superannuation held about $4.4 trillion at March 2026, roughly half of it invested offshore.CR So the binding constraint in your market is unlikely to be capital. The scarce good is bankable propositions at institutional scale.CI

Why this exists

Open sources are not a cheaper substitute. For you they are the only base layer.

Classified collection serves a very small population: cleared officials inside a few states, working a narrow band of questions. Everyone else making consequential decisions about the wider world is reasoning from open material somebody else assembled.

That makes its reliability a structural problem rather than a quality one. Whatever error sits in the base layer propagates upward silently, and the better the reasoning built on top, the more efficiently it turns a corrupted input into a confident decision. Sound method on unsound ground does not fail loudly. It fails persuasively.

The industry solved collection years ago. It did not solve verification. Given an assessment, you usually cannot tell which claims are measurements, which are inference, or what would make the producer withdraw it. Trust rests on the reputation of the firm rather than on any property of the document in your hands.

A base layer nobody can check is not a foundation. It is an assumption with citations attached. The Trace and the System · Bearing Partners, 2026

So we build the other way round. Verifiability has to be a property of the artefact, not a service you are expected to supply yourself. That is the whole design, and it is why a farmer in Kerry and a fund manager in Sydney get the same ground to stand on.

How it works

A few fields, one document.

01

Choose the question

Pick the report that matches the decision in front of you, and give us the handful of details it needs. That is the whole intake.

02

It meets the night's file

Around 24,000 direct readings from the institutions that publish the world's machinery, held against standing dated beliefs, plus fresh research done for your question with every source recorded.

03

It lands the same day

Three to four pages, footnoted to the record, ending with what it could not establish and the questions you should be asking next.

Ten reports

One engine. Ten decisions it can be pointed at.

Read before you buy

Two complete reports, free and unabridged.

Both built from a single unmodified nightly file, for two people as far apart as we could find. Nothing is held back for the paid version.

Dairy farmer · County Kerry, Ireland

The farm gate and the grid

Chosen to test whether a global sensing system has anything real to say to someone whose market is milk price and feed cost. Fertiliser and energy transmission, an animal-health thesis, and Ireland's power import gap.

Freight operator · Monterrey, Mexico

A boom that is borrowed

A cross-border carrier in his best quarter, told by the file that the quarter is front-loading against a capex collapse. Sanctions exposure cross-checked name by name, plus the USMCA review calendar.

Being straight with you

The report shows its workings. The terminal lets you pull on them.

These are not the same guarantee, and we would rather you heard that from us than found it yourself.

The report · $150

A labelled document

Every load-bearing claim is tagged by tier and footnoted to a register reading, a stored identifier or a fetched URL. You can see which claims are measured and which are judgement, at sentence level. What you cannot do, on paper, is open the record underneath and check it yourself. For most decisions that is enough.

The terminal · subscription

A checkable record

References are built in code from the row the retrieval tool returned, then validated against the loaded substrate. An invented citation does not pass quietly; it renders struck through in front of you. You can walk any conclusion backward to the raw readings, or forward to what the thesis predicts next.

Order

One report. One price.

$150
USD · per report

Pick a report above. You give the details at checkout, three short fields. It is emailed to the address you nominate, the same day. If what arrives is not worth what you paid, say so and we refund it.

Or run it yourself

For people who would rather ask their own questions.

The reports are built on Radar's daily brief. If you want the file itself, with an interrogation surface that lets you walk any conclusion back to the readings underneath it, that is a subscription rather than a purchase.

Subscribers bring their own Anthropic API key. Radar absorbs the search costs; a full pipeline run costs roughly $2–4 in API usage.
