Editorial Policy

ConflictWatch combines automated public-data monitoring with AI-assisted summaries to help readers understand global conflict developments. We prioritize source-linked reporting, clear methodology, and transparency about automation.

Sources

ConflictWatch uses public news metadata and open-source datasets, including GDELT-derived inputs, public RSS/news coverage, and reference links from humanitarian and mapping organizations. We do not host graphic violence.

AI-assisted analysis

Hourly global reports and cluster analyses are generated from current headlines and conflict-zone metadata. AI output is constrained to summarize diplomatic implications, strategic movement, and reported developments. Reports should be read as editorial summaries, not as primary-source verification.

Scoring methodology

Articles are weighted by conflict-relevant indicators such as military action, terrorism, casualties, active combat, serious incidents, disasters, and escalation signals. Severity categories are based on weighted scores and article volume within recent time windows.

Corrections

We welcome corrections. Contact [email protected] with the URL, the disputed claim, and supporting evidence.

Advertising independence

Advertising and affiliate links do not determine the content of conflict reports, cluster rankings, or editorial summaries.
