RAPID Risk Analysis & Processing for Intelligent Decisions

A reusable framework for humanitarian intelligence. One engine — ingest, vet, analyse, synthesise, evaluate — turns public information into different information products. Each new use case is configured, not rebuilt.

Inputs — ingested daily
Qualitative (documents, articles)
ReliefWeb WFP Country Briefs Strategic Plans & Annual Reports Food Security Cluster News
Quantitative (open datasets)
IPC food security ACLED conflict Climate & flood data Food prices
+ Internal WFP information sources — not yet connected operational, funding and monitoring systems would fill gaps public sources can't, deepening every product.
Shared engine — generic and reused for every product

Ingest

Pull each source on a schedule — APIs, feeds and documents.

Vet

Check each item for relevance and credibility.

Analyse

Extract key facts through configurable lenses — e.g. food security, conflict, displacement.

Synthesise

Combine sources into a brief, with a citation on each claim.

Evaluate

Score the draft against quality criteria and revise before finalising.

Products — same engine, different use cases
Live

Country briefs

One per country, refreshed weekly.

Live

Regional overview

Countries rolled up into a regional risk picture with watchpoints.

Prototype

Leadership brief

The same intelligence poured into an executive template (e.g. ED brief).

Extensible

Further use cases

New products configured on the same engine — no reinventing the wheel.

Traceability

Every figure links back to the named public source it came from, so a reader can check it.

Evaluation

Each brief is automatically scored against quality criteria and revised before it is finalised.

Reusable by design

Vetting, analysis and evaluation are shared. New sources, lenses and products plug in by configuration.
