REPETITION IS NOT ONE THING

Less new information.
Not necessarily less physical impact.

Ten reports about one closure are not ten closures. But a closure lasting ten days can create a growing delivery problem.

Blackdeck separates duplicate records, similar coverage, new information and reporting persistence. It does not infer lost barrels, tonnes or money from article counts.

What is established — and what is not.

Available: machine-coded actions, locations, reporting counts and a historical source window. Inferred: multiple classifications and conditional business pathways. Not yet established: outage duration, lost production, shipment delay, company loss or a causal price effect.
