It is the kind of platform that replaces five separate tools and a stack of analyst notebooks with one workspace a team can actually defend in front of a leadership briefing.

The challenge

Geopolitical analysis is one of the most fragmented workflows in the analytical world. An analyst typically maintains five to ten open browser tabs — event feeds, conflict trackers, sanctions databases, market data, language-specific media — and stitches them together in their head, in a notes document, or in a slide. By the time leadership asks “so what should we do?”, half of the underlying inputs are stale.

What the rest of the industry does

• Free open data layers are excellent at showing events on a map. They do not run forecasting, simulation, or decision support.
• Enterprise OSINT platforms deliver high-quality alerts at high price points. Most are weak on collaborative scenario modeling and structured analytic techniques.
• Top-tier defense and intelligence platforms cover the full analytical stack at enterprise procurement complexity and price.
• Consultancies deliver depth at the pace of a written report.

The Zorost advantage

• Six layers in one product. Monitoring, knowledge graph, structured analysis, forecasting, simulation, and decision support. Competitors typically cover one or two.
• Causal, not just correlational. The knowledge layer is a causal graph, not a tag cloud. Analysts see drivers and consequences, not only co-occurrences.
• Simulation as a first-class layer. Scenario, Monte-Carlo, agent-based, and game-theoretic simulation are built in, not bolt-ons.
• Operationally multilingual. Briefings, alerts, and source ingestion support multiple languages out of the box.
• Right-sized for the mid market. Aquil is priced and deployed for teams between the free open data world and the enterprise-procurement world.

How we approach it

The platform is organized as a layered stack. The monitoring layer continuously ingests open, geospatial, multilingual, and market sources. The knowledge graph layer links events, actors, locations, and themes — with causal edges, not just co-occurrence edges. The analysis layer supports structured techniques (alternative competing hypotheses, red-team / blue-team, key-assumption checks) so the same workflow that intelligence professionals are trained on lives in the software.

On top of that sit forecasting and simulation. Forecasting includes both model-driven and aggregated prediction-market signals. Simulation includes agent-based crowd modeling, Monte-Carlo, and game-theoretic frames for multi-party situations. A decision-support layer assembles briefings, scenarios, and recommendations — with citations back to the source events.

Capability categories

• Continuous OSINT monitoring — multilingual, multi-source, geo-aware.
• Causal knowledge graph — actors, events, locations, and themes with causal edges.
• Geospatial command views — map and globe surfaces with threat scoring and layer overlays.
• Structured analysis — ACH, red/blue-team, key-assumption checks built into the workspace.
• Forecasting — model-driven plus aggregated prediction-market signal.
• Simulation — scenario, Monte-Carlo, agent-based, and game-theoretic.
• Decision support — briefings, scenario comparisons, and recommendation views with full source provenance.
• Multilingual delivery — alerts and briefings in multiple operational languages.

Who it is for

• Geopolitical risk and intelligence teams at corporates.
• Strategic consultancies and research firms.
• Executive advisory and sovereign-strategy units.
• Defense-adjacent analytical organizations operating within appropriate legal and compliance frameworks.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aquil an OSINT tool?

OSINT monitoring is one of six layers. The differentiator is that monitoring feeds a causal graph, a forecasting engine, and a simulation layer in the same product.

Can it run in restricted environments?

Yes. Aquil supports private-tenant and isolated deployments for organizations with sovereignty, residency, or sensitivity requirements.

What languages does it support?

English plus additional operational languages for briefings, alerts, and ingestion. Specific languages are configurable per deployment.
