Reading your report

What each section of a Detailed report tells you, and how to use it.

The structure

Section	What it gives you
Executive Summary	Labeled key findings, each a bold lead-in and one or two sentences.
Key metrics	The headline numbers for the location, with the BaseScore and its tier.
Crime analysis	Trends and breakdowns for the threat types you selected.
Threat Actors	Who is behind the activity, described by type (for example, organized retail crime networks, transit-related predatory crime, or ideologically motivated actors), not just by counts.
Terrorism	The current threat environment and a risk assessment.
Activism	Protest and demonstration patterns, and what they mean operationally for the location.
Emerging Events	Recent events that may change the picture, with links to their sources.
Key Takeaways	About eight concrete recommendations to act on.
Sources Cited	The named sources behind the qualitative claims.

The key findings in the Executive Summary are: Property Crime Dominance, Violent Crime Profile, Terrorism and Unrest Exposure, Actors, Threat Trajectory, and Operational Friction.

Key Takeaways covers layered physical security, employee safety, law enforcement liaison, insurance review, facility hardening, event monitoring, vendor screening, and coordination with your security operations center.

Good to know

The summary stays the same, the body follows your filters. The Executive Summary and key metrics do not change with the threat types you pick. Crime sections do, and they say so.

Risk tiers. Scores appear with their tier label. For how scores map to tiers, see The BaseScore scale.

Some sections are always included. Terrorism, Emerging Events, and Threat Actors appear in every Detailed report because they do not depend on the threat types you chose. Their text is written from available information, so review them as you would an analyst's draft.

Sources. Claims attributed to officials or outlets are named and listed under Sources Cited, so you can check them.

When there is not enough data

A report never leaves a section blank without saying why. If a location has no crime data, too little to analyze, or no events in a category you selected, the Executive Summary says so and the affected section explains it. The same applies to Terrorism, Emerging Events, and Threat Actors when there is not enough information to write them.
