Sentry Documentation

Getting started

Sentry brings open-source intelligence collection, AI analysis, and case management into one platform. A typical first session looks like this:

1. Create an account and choose a plan on the sign-up page.
2. Run a search in FieldQuery to pull results from across the open web.
3. Set up an OverWatch feed to monitor a topic, entity, or source continuously.
4. Review AI analysis — Sentry classifies content and scores threats automatically.
5. Build a Nexus profile and collect findings into a dossier to share with your team.

Core concepts

How analysis & threat scoring works

Every collected item is assessed and assigned a threat level. Sentry maps a 0–99 score onto a consistent five-level severity ladder so results stay comparable across the platform:

• Informational (0–19) — context, no action needed.
• Low (20–39) — worth noting.
• Medium (40–59) — review recommended.
• High (60–79) — likely needs a response.
• Critical (80+) — urgent attention.

News, academic, and satirical content is downgraded automatically when there's no credible intent, which keeps day-to-day reporting out of your high-priority alerts.
