Why benchmarking matters
A 50+-signal scan gives you the absolute number — three Medium chatter posts, one active FEMA disaster, one TFR overlapping the venue radius. What it does not give you, on its own, is the question every security director asks within thirty seconds of reading a brief: is this normal for an event like mine?
A stadium on game day will always have more chatter than a corporate conference. A festival in wildfire country will always have a higher environment baseline than an indoor arena. A rally near a federal building will always have heavier movement signals than a suburban theater. Reading the absolute number without the cohort underneath it is how false alarms get raised and how genuine outliers get missed.
The comparison gives you the cohort.
What is in the report
One headline number: where your event's overall score sits inside the rolling 30-day distribution of scans against the same venue type. A 90th-percentile reading means heavier than most peers; a 30th-percentile reading means lighter.
Each of the four pillars — Chatter, Environment, Movement, Context — gets its own percentile. A high composite driven by a 90th-percentile environment reading is a fundamentally different operational picture than the same composite driven by chatter.
Any individual signal where your event sits above the 75th percentile of the cohort is flagged with the specific reading and the cohort distribution. This is where the operational attention actually goes.
A short paragraph describing the cohort — venue-type label, rolling sample size, typical signal mix. So you know what you are being compared against and whether the comparison is meaningful for your event.
Sample comparison
Above the cohort median. Heavier-than-average reading driven by Movement and Chatter pillars.
The sample above is a stadium on a regular-season home gameday. The comparison engine looks the same shape for festivals, arenas, and rallies — different cohorts, same structure.
FAQ
A pillar-by-pillar percentile placement for your event against the same venue-type cohort — stadium against stadium, festival against festival, arena against arena, rally against rally. Each of the four pillars (Chatter, Environment, Movement, Context) gets a percentile, plus an overall composite percentile, plus a per-signal callout for any signal where your event sits above the cohort 75th.
The cohort is keyed off the event type you select at scan time — stadium, festival, arena, conference, political rally, parade, or generic venue. The comparison engine pulls the rolling distribution of scans run against the same event type and places your scan inside it. The cohort is geographically broad on purpose so the comparison stays statistically meaningful.
Yes. The benchmarking report runs on top of the standard free 50+-signal scan — no card required, just a 30-second signup. Saving the comparison to a workspace, running it on a schedule, or exporting the PDF requires a paid tier — but the one-off comparison is free.
Rolling 30-day window, refreshed daily. The comparison is always against recent scans, so a venue's percentile placement reflects the current threat environment rather than a historical baseline that could be months stale.
