Run your first scan

Click Scan in the top nav, or go to /scan directly. The form is the only place where one-off, immediate scans are run.

Type a keyword, an artist name, or an @handle in the Keywords field and press Enter (or comma) to lock it as a chip. Add as many as relevant — chatter signals (X / Reddit / Bluesky / Telegram / TikTok) will scan posts matching any chip.

Keep keyword scope tight. "Coldplay" alone matches every Coldplay post on Earth; "Coldplay Wembley" or the event hashtag scopes you to this show.

Event name is required. It's what shows on dashboard cards, the Live Monitor header, and as the title in your saved-events list. Use the actual event name (e.g. Coldplay · Music of the Spheres Tour) — not a search keyword.

Type the venue name or address. After a beat, an autocomplete dropdown shows matches from OpenStreetMap. Click one (or press Enter on a typed value) to lock it as a chip. The chip shows the venue's resolved timezone — e.g. Wembley Stadium · BST (UTC+1). The TZ matters because your start/end times are interpreted in your local zone, not the venue's.

Set the Start datetime first. End auto-fills with Start + 4 hours as a suggestion (italic). Edit End directly if your event runs longer — festivals, conferences, residencies. End must be strictly after Start; the field shows a red error inline if not.

Defaults are sane: Scan size 10 posts per chatter source, Traffic 2 mi, Airspace 5 mi, Crime 3 mi. Bump scan size to 50 or 100 for high-stakes events where you want a wider chatter sample. Tune radii to match your venue's footprint — a 2-mile traffic radius is fine for a downtown arena; a 5+ for a stadium with regional draw.

The pipeline kicks off about 17 parallel signal fetches and the AI brief synthesis. You'll see a progress strip of signal tiles filling in over ~30-45 seconds. When it lands, the page scrolls to the Threat Brief.

The brief opens with an overall Severity pill (critical / high / medium / low / clear), an AI Synthesis paragraph, and a numbered list of recommended Actions. Below that, every signal that returned data is rendered as a card with its own severity and headline. Scroll through to spot what's elevated.
