Chapter 1 · Introduction

A fast, sourced picture of Indonesia

GREYSIGNAL collects mainstream reporting and official public data, structures it, and makes it easy to explore visually. It is built for executives, analysts and investment teams following politics, security, law and corruption, the economy and markets, energy and mining, disasters, social unrest, cyber and geopolitics.

Collects

News from about 27 mainstream outlets — ANTARA, Tempo, Kompas, CNN Indonesia, CNBC Indonesia, detik, BBC Indonesia, The Jakarta Post and others — plus BMKG earthquake data and a Claude AI crawler on trusted outlets.

Understands

Tags every report with province, institutions, named officials, IDX tickers, category and severity.

Visualises

A map of Indonesia with a live feed, reporting tempo and corroborated top stories.

Searches

The whole collection with precise operators, and the live web on demand.

Profiles

Public figures from Wikidata and Wikipedia, linked to their news coverage.

Maps & reports

Networks of cases, people and institutions with the reporting behind every link — and one-click executive summaries to PDF or Markdown.

Sourced

Everything comes from public reporting or official open data, and every item links back to the original article.

Verifiable

Automated tags and AI output are leads, not conclusions. Read the evidence before acting on it.

Proportionate

Identity profiles cover public figures only. Private individuals in the news are never profiled.

Chapter 3 · The dashboard

Your situation picture

What is being reported, where, how serious it is, and whether it is accelerating. Choose a window of 6H · 24H · 48H · 7D and every panel follows it.

Theatre map

Each circle is a province: size shows the number of reports, colour shows a 0–100 signal index combining volume and severity. A pulsing ring flags high Elevated or Critical reporting. Click a province to filter the whole dashboard; diamonds mark BMKG earthquakes.

Feed, tempo and actors

The live feed shows the newest reports with outlet, tier, severity, places and tickers. Reporting tempo shows when a story broke; top stories are grouped across outlets so the best-corroborated rise; actors lists the most-mentioned institutions, people, foreign actors and tickers.

Severity levels

Routine · Normal reportingStatements, meetings, policy announcements
Notable · Worth notingInvestigations under way, mild market moves
Elevated · Needs attentionArrests and sting operations (OTT), floods, earthquakes, protests, data breaches, market shocks
Critical · Serious incidentDeaths, armed attacks, explosions, riots, tsunami warnings, states of emergency

Severity starts from keyword rules; when Claude AI is configured, each new article is also reviewed and adjusted.

Article analysis, search, profiles and networks

Article detail & AI analysis

Open original ↗ always takes you to the publisher’s article — the authoritative source.
Every report shows severity, categories, places, institutions, people, foreign actors and tickers.
✦ AI analysis (analysts) gives key facts, actors and roles, context, indicators to watch and confidence, with numbered citations.
Related coverage lists other reports on the same story.

Search titles, summaries, outlets, people, institutions, places, foreign actors and tickers, then narrow by time window, category, province and minimum severity. When the collection has little on a topic, use + Live web or ✦ AI web search to bring in more from trusted outlets.

KPK korupsi	Reports containing both words (AND is the default)
"Laut Natuna Utara"	The exact phrase
nikel\|smelter	Either word
KPK -saham	KPK, excluding reports that mention “saham”
Kejagung nikel\|korupsi -Pertamina	Kejagung AND (nikel OR korupsi), excluding Pertamina

GREYSIGNAL search with highlighted matches and a breakdown panel. From a test installation; some items are sample data.

Identities: public figures

Profiles of officials, politicians and executives in the news, built from Wikidata and Wikipedia and linked to GREYSIGNAL’s own coverage: photo, positions held, biography, official channels and 30 days of news coverage with co-mentioned institutions and people.

Scope by design: profiles exist only for public figures with a Wikipedia article. Victims, witnesses and residents are never profiled, social networks are not scraped, and religion, ethnicity and family members are not collected.

Network analysis

Shows how cases, people, institutions, regions and foreign actors are connected in the reporting, and who sits at the centre. Set a scope, choose the entity types, then build the network.

Node: — an entity; size shows the number of mentions
Link: — the same reports mention both; thicker means more
Broker score: — how often an entity bridges otherwise separate groups
Cluster: — a group more connected to itself — usually one case
Focus network: — one entity and its direct (or 2-hop) connections
Map mode: — places each entity at its province to show a case’s geography

A link means the media mentioned two entities together. It is not proof of a relationship — always open the Evidence list and read the context.

Chapter 12 · Security & responsible use

Protecting the organisation and the people in the reporting

Your responsibilities

Use a unique, strong password and never share your account — every action is logged under your name.
Sign out on shared devices.
Treat reports and exports as internal; share them only with authorised people.
Report suspicious sign-in activity to your administrator.

Responsible analysis

Automated tags, links and AI output are leads — verify them in the original articles.
A network link is a co-mention in the media, not evidence of wrongdoing or a relationship.
Public figures only: do not use GREYSIGNAL to profile private individuals.
Respect copyright: link to the original articles and do not republish them.

Access is enforced by role on every request, and security-relevant actions are kept in an audit log. The application had an independent security review before release.

Chapter 13 · Troubleshooting

Common questions

A menu or button is missing: Your role does not include it. Ask an admin.
Asked to set a new password: Normal on first sign-in or after a reset.
Signed out unexpectedly: Your session expired, or an admin changed your role or password. Sign in again.
Dashboard is empty: Collection starts shortly after the server starts. Check Sources.
No profile found for a person: Profiles exist only for public figures with a Wikipedia article. You can still search their name.
Wrong person linked to a name: Open the name from the news again and choose the correct person, or None of these.
The network is too crowded: Raise Min. link, lower Max nodes, narrow the topic or window, or use Focus network.
Severity or category looks wrong: Tags start from keyword rules, so mistakes happen. Judge from the article itself.

The PDF also includes the administration chapter and a one-page quick reference card.
