Monitoring Policy

ConflictWatch is an automated public-data monitoring tool with AI-assisted summaries. It helps readers notice patterns in conflict-related public reporting, but it is not a newsroom, intelligence agency, or primary source.

Sources

ConflictWatch uses public news metadata and open datasets, including GDELT-derived inputs, public RSS/news references, and humanitarian or mapping reference links. We filter known low-quality domains and do not host graphic violence.

AI-assisted summaries

Global and cluster summaries are generated from selected source-linked headlines and conflict-zone metadata. They are intended as quick orientation, not independent verification. Readers should check primary reporting, official agencies, and humanitarian sources before relying on important claims.

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 automated estimates based on weighted scores and article volume within recent time windows.

Corrections

We welcome corrections, false-positive examples, and source-quality reports. Contact contact@conflict-watch.net with the URL, the disputed claim, and supporting evidence.

Advertising independence

Advertising and affiliate links do not determine conflict scoring, cluster rankings, or AI-assisted summaries.
