Building Entity Networks

Open the Research Workspace to begin:

1. Click **New Investigation** or open an existing one 2. Enter a seed entity (name, organization, vessel, etc.) 3. Select entity type from 44 available categories 4. The AI will search across 40+ sources automatically

The entity network graph visualizes relationships:

• **Nodes** — Represent entities (people, organizations, vessels, etc.) • **Edges** — Show relationships between entities • **Colors** — Different colors for different entity types • **Size** — Larger nodes indicate more connections

You can drag nodes to rearrange, zoom with scroll, and click to expand.

Let the AI discover hidden connections:

• **Depth-1** — Direct connections to your seed entity • **Depth-2** — Connections of connections (recommended) • **Depth-3** — Extended network (may include noise)

SENTINEL supports 15 relationship types: ownership, employment, family, financial, legal, and more.

Track entity activity over time:

1. Select an entity in the graph 2. Click **View Timeline** in the entity panel 3. The AI extracts dates and locations from sources automatically 4. Filter by date range or activity type 5. Export the timeline for reports

Cross-check entities against regulatory lists:

• **Sanctions lists** — OFAC, EU, UN sanctions • **PEP databases** — Politically Exposed Persons • **Adverse media** — Negative news coverage • **Watchlists** — Law enforcement databases

Results are classified: CLEAR / POTENTIAL MATCH / CONFIRMED MATCH

Generate professional outputs:

• **4 formats** — Executive Brief, Operational, Diplomatic, Full Analysis • **7 languages** — EN, FR, AR, ES, DE, RU, ZH • **Export types** — PDF, Word, PowerPoint • **AI conclusion** — Automated summary of key findings
