About Global Crisis Intelligence
Global Crisis Intelligence (GCI) is a real-time geopolitical risk intelligence platform that monitors armed conflicts, energy market disruptions, commodity price movements, aviation risks, and humanitarian crises worldwide using verified open-source data.
Our Mission
We believe crisis intelligence should be accessible to everyone — not just governments and corporations. GCI aggregates, processes, and visualizes data from the world's most trusted open-source intelligence providers, making complex geopolitical information understandable and actionable for researchers, journalists, analysts, students, and concerned citizens.

Armed Conflict Location & Event Data — conflict events, fatalities, and actor data.
Global Database of Events, Language and Tone — real-time news monitoring.
Humanitarian crisis reports, disaster alerts, and situation updates.
Energy Information Administration — oil prices, production, inventories.
Commodity prices, economic indicators, development data.
Real-time flight tracking and aviation data.
