Prioritized threats, negative spikes, and campaign patterns for response teams.
A single alert tells you something spiked. It doesn't tell you whether that spike is part of a building pattern, a one-off, or a repeat of something that happened before. The Crisis Timeline is built to answer that.
Response teams don't just need to know a threshold was crossed — they need to know how a threat is developing to decide how urgently and how visibly to respond. A flat alert list can't show that; a timeline can.
Crisis Alerts notify you the moment a threshold is breached. The Crisis Timeline shows the pattern around that moment — whether it's a one-off spike, a building trend, or a repeat of something that happened before.
Repeated or coordinated negative activity across a period, identified from the timeline view rather than surfaced as a single disconnected alert.
Threats are ranked relative to each other so response teams can see what matters most right now, rather than working through a flat, unordered list of every spike.
They're complementary, not dependent — the Timeline draws on the same underlying mention data as alerts, but is useful on its own for reviewing how a period of activity developed after the fact.
