The scoring model encodes patterns like the one in this article (Israeli-sourced, CIA-doubted) to help funds avoid overpaying for false-alarm risk premia. Deliver via REST API and daily CSV/S3 snapshots. Pricing: $1,500-$5,000/month tiered by volume, or $15k-$50k annual enterprise license. Tech: Python/Airflow ingestion, PostgreSQL/Snowflake, FastAPI, LLM scoring, AWS. Requires 3-6 months of backtesting against historical conflict events before sale. |
| Monetization | Recurring API subscriptions, enterprise licenses, usage-based overage fees, and one-off historical datasets. |
