FAQ from Brand Narrative Intelligence

How does the DEFCON rating work?

It is a weighted composite of four models: Brand Threat (30%), Impersonation (25%), Review Authenticity (25%), and Narrative Drift (20%). The server returns a 1-5 DEFCON level with a score from 0-100.

What data sources does it use?

It queries 8 specialized Apify actors in parallel: brand protection monitoring, Bluesky social search, cross-platform and Trustpilot review analysis, WHOIS lookup, crt.sh SSL certificates, Wayback Machine historical analysis, and live website change monitoring.

How long does a full brand threat report take to generate?

Because all underlying actors run concurrently via Promise.allSettled, a full 8-source report completes in 30-90 seconds rather than 8-10 minutes sequentially.

What happens if one data source fails?

The server returns partial results from the remaining sources instead of failing the entire request, thanks to graceful partial result handling.

How do I schedule recurring assessments?

You can use Apify Schedules to run daily DEFCON checks, and configure Slack or email alerts when threat levels escalate.
