In use by media, governments and corporations
Information overload, with no way to tell what to trust.
Media organisations, governments and corporations face thousands of research sources, preprints, reports and expert voices every week. Following the field is a full-time job; judging credibility is harder still.
The Sphere set out to be a trusted knowledge platform: expertise gathered, weighed and commissioned with editorial rigour. It needed the AI systems to do that at scale without losing the judgement that makes it trustworthy.
The AI and editorial systems behind the platform.
Research tracking
Thousands of sources monitored continuously, new work classified and surfaced by theme, so editors see what is emerging before it becomes news.
- Source monitoring
- Theme detection
- Classification
Credibility assessment
Signals of provenance, method and consensus gathered for each piece of research and presented to editors, supporting a judgement rather than replacing it.
- Provenance signals
- Consensus mapping
- Editor in the loop
Expert commissioning
Workflows that match an emerging theme to the right expert, manage the commission, and carry the editorial process through to publication.
- Expert matching
- Commissioning workflow
- Editorial pipeline
Rigour at the scale of the internet.
Editors decide
Every system presents evidence to a person. Publication, commissioning and credibility calls stay editorial.
Traceable
Each theme, signal and recommendation links back to the sources it came from.
Built for three audiences
The same infrastructure serves media, governments and corporations navigating the same overload.
Continuously learning
Editorial decisions feed back into the tracking and assessment, so the platform sharpens with use.
