BLACKDECK

METHODOLOGY

Explainable risk, not a feed of headlines.

Blackdeck is built around delta and impact linkage: what changed, why, what is exposed, how serious it is, and what to watch next.

Processing chain

  1. Incrementally ingest global event candidates.
  2. Filter low-value noise before long-term storage.
  3. Normalize, deduplicate and cluster related event records.
  4. Resolve geography, entities and risk taxonomy.
  5. Map relevant commodities, supply-chain nodes and companies.
  6. Score event severity, confidence, exposure, recency and confirmation.
  7. Compare the current state with the previous snapshot.
  8. Publish the daily delta and the evidence behind it.

Risk scoring principle

Scores remain decomposable. The system favors explainable weighted components over a single opaque model output.

Risk = severity × source confidence × entity relevance × geographic exposure × commodity exposure × recency × confirmation

Correlation policy

Event studies may include correlation, lag correlation, regression and R². Every analytical view must disclose the window, sample count, source and confidence. Correlation is never presented as causation.

Snapshot maturity

The dashboard can publish a provisional event-level snapshot as soon as two daily partitions exist. The full baseline is considered mature after 60 daily partitions are available. Commodity, supply-chain, company and price-impact layers are marked separately so missing analytical coverage is visible rather than hidden.
