IDC Market Note: When Behavior Speaks Louder Than Content Read the Market Note

Solution

Narrative Attack Detection for Government Affairs

AI Uniti detects coordinated activity in the policy conversations that affect you, and gives you the evidence to distinguish manufactured opposition from genuine public concern, in both directions.

The threat to Government Affairs

Policy windows are attack windows. Consultations, approvals, licence renewals and inquiries all run to a published timetable, which makes them the easiest events in corporate life to plan a campaign against. A coordinated push into a consultation does not need to persuade anyone. It only needs to create the appearance of public concern at the moment a decision-maker is looking.

There is a second exposure, and it is the one that tends to be underestimated. If activity supporting your own position turns out to be inauthentic, the regulatory problem becomes yours. Whether your organisation commissioned it is not the first question that gets asked, and by the time it is answered the story has moved on.

Both risks come down to the same question: is this activity organic? Sentiment analysis cannot answer it, because a manufactured campaign and a genuine movement say the same things.

What you get

01

Coverage aligned to the policy calendar

Monitoring focused on the consultations, approvals and inquiries that matter to you, during the windows when they are contested.

02

Manufactured opposition separated from genuine concern

The difference decides your response. Treating a coordinated campaign as public sentiment leads to concessions nobody asked for; treating genuine concern as a campaign is considerably worse.

03

Evidence a regulator will accept

Deterministic behavioural evidence with a traceable chain, built to be submitted rather than summarised.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from media monitoring?

Media monitoring tells you what is being said. This tells you whether the people saying it are acting independently.

Can the evidence be submitted to a regulator or inquiry?

It is built for that: deterministic, traceable and explainable, rather than a model output with a confidence score.

Can it show that support for our position is genuine?

Yes, and that is often the more valuable direction. The method produces defensible negative findings, not only positive ones.

Do you monitor politicians or officials?

We analyse coordination patterns in public conversation. The unit of analysis is behaviour across accounts, not any individual's views.
