What problem does it solve?

Provides consolidated, queryable conflict and political instability data to speed sovereign risk assessments, ESG country scoring, and supply-chain disruption analysis by removing the need to manually query multiple event and tone datasets.

• Event-level Coverage: Query ACLED event records by country, date range, event type, actors, and fatalities for near-real-time situational awareness.
• Aggregations & Time Series: Retrieve ACLED fatality aggregates and UCDP battle-death time series for historical intensity analysis and trend identification.
• Media Tone & Bilateral Tension: Use GDELT tone and bilateral tension tools to track media sentiment trends and assess diplomatic friction between country pairs.
• Use Case: Combine ACLED event hotspots, UCDP historical death estimates, and GDELT tone trends to produce a single conflict-risk snapshot for a sovereign credit review.
